StrataMax Portal | Reports & Documents

The setup of the StrataMax Portal is able to be done in several different ways. Reports from StrataMax can upload daily, and documents that are added to DocMax can also be uploaded.  Below are the instructions to assist with this process.

Set Up User Types

When accessing the Portal for the first time, User Types will need to be set up before uploading any reports or documents. These are the different types of users that will be accessing the Portal along with the documents and reports it contains. There are three different User Types: Owner, Committee, and Anonymous. These User Types are necessary if certain reports and documents need to be available for committee members, but not owners, for example.

1. Sign into the Portal using an Administrator account.
2. Click the Reports & Documents tab.
3. If no User Types have been configured already, the Add User Types window will automatically appear, and needs to be clicked.
4. Select the user type and click Add.
5. New User Type will now appear
6. A message can also be defined to display next to each User Type, used to define availability/conditions etc.
   1. To edit, click the pencil icon to the right.
   2. Add or edit the message, and click the Save icon.
7. Click the X in the top-right to close this window.
   1. User Types can also be deleted by simply clicking on the red circle with the white cross, then confirming by clicking 'Yes' when prompted 'Are you sure?' Before deleting a User Type, all Report and Document Groups for this User Type must be empty.
8. Report and Document Groups can now be added to this new User Type.

Reports on the StrataMax Portal

The StrataMax Portal has two different report groups available - one of which can be assigned to the ‘Owner’ user group, and the other can be assigned to the ‘Committee’ user group. Below is a list of StrataMax reports, which can be made available to the appropriate user group, and in addition to configuring the display name, a fee can be set up to access certain report groups if required.

Reports that are available on the Portal are produced from the information uploaded from StrataMax. These are:

• Owner Information Report: Lot specific - retrieved from the Owner Info.
• Roll Entry Report: Lot specific - retrieved from the accepted Roll Submissions in the StrataMax (cloud icon).
• Insurance Report: Retrieved from Insurance.

• Financial Statements (Current Year): Configured and retrieved from the Financial Statements.
