ScanTech e/Forms is a software utility for financial planners. The simple principle behind e/Forms is its ability to electronically complete forms using the internet and your local contact management database. 

The initial interface of ScanTech e/Forms will be the following 'Client Information' window. This window enables you to link to your contact management database and search and export client profile information.

Select the appropriate contact management program under the Database tab.
Many forms have representative information that should appear, including dealer name, dealer number and contact telephone numbers.  This information can be set up in the User Info tab. 
The main interface after this initial setup is the Search tab. Under this tab is a searchable listing of contacts/clients that are in your contact management software.

The steps to get data onto the form(s) are:
- Select a client from the list
- Click the Export Data button.
- Bring the relevant form(s) on the screen either from your hard drive or from the Internet.
- Click the Import Data button to automatically populate the form.

Warning: For the program to recognize the downloaded the forms, they must be saved to either the root directory of the program (i.e. 'C:\Program Files\ScanTech eForms Online\') or the 'Forms' subfolder within.

There are two ways in which forms can be downloaded, either individually or as batches under company folders.

Individual forms are downloaded through the web browser interface.  Simply right click on a form link, and select the option Save Target As... option. Do not change the filename and save the file to the root directory of the program or the forms subfolder within the root directory.
