Releases - 04.07.2025 – Add User Enhancements

The following activities and enhancements were implemented as part of the April 2025 release to optimize the user onboarding process, improve agent management workflows, and streamline compliance operations:
  • GIACT Auto-Verification on Agent Creation 
    Implemented automatic GIACT checks upon adding a new agent with “Active” status to enhance fraud prevention and compliance at the entry point. 
  • Automated Override Redistribution  
    The system now automatically calculates and reallocates any remaining override percentage to the default House Agent after 7 business days, reducing manual intervention. 
  • DocuSign Notifications via SMS and Email 
    Upon agent creation, DocuSign contract links are automatically sent via SMS and email to ensure prompt and reliable contract execution. 
  • Automated Welcome Email with CRM Access 
    New agents now receive a welcome message via SMS and email that includes their CRM login credentials, expediting access and onboarding. 
  • Bonus Frequency Field Repositioned 
    The Bonus Frequency field has been relocated to the Bonus section of the agent profile for better alignment and organization. 
  • New “Pay to Others” Field Introduced 
    A new field enables rerouting of payouts to other users involved in the override structure. It defaults to the creating user and is limited to users with Pay Status = Active
  • New User Approval Dashboard Added 
    Introduced a centralized dashboard to monitor all pending agent approvals. Includes key tracking fields:
    • Signed Date (contract) 
    • Date Counter (from signature)

  • 1099 Field Default Set to Yes 
    If the 1099 field is left blank during agent addition, the system will now default the value to Yes to ensure consistent reporting. 
  • Agent Creation Page Optimized 
    Several fields have been hidden from the user creation page to present a cleaner interface. These fields remain available within the agent profile:
    • Last Approval Date 
    • Time Zone 
    • Payment Reference (defaults to ACH + 1099, IRS = Yes) 
    • For Retention (default: Yes)
