Document Uploads Instanet

Many of you have begun to introduce yourself to the new document management system, Instanet Solutions. Understand that not all of the fillable documents have been developed and uploaded to date. The work order has been placed and the documents will be uploaded as they become available- mid January most of them should be displayed.

Some members have identified some mapping issues with data that is fed to the Instanet documents from Paragon. Those issues are being resolved and solutions implemented soon.

In the mean time, your Association encourages you to participate in the scheduled Instanet training webinars and to familiarize yourself with this robust system.
