Step 6 - New Form Review (NFR)
New Form Review
(NFR) wizard enables source documents to be associated with a Proforma Form. When you see that an unmatched document matches a proforma form, you can match these 2 in this step.
New Form Review (NFR)
Upon loading the NFR wizard, your screen will be segmented into 2 parts:
- TheNew Form Reviewpanel: This panel will additionally be separated into theProforma Formssection listing all proforma'd forms and theUnassociated Documentssection listing all pages of the source documents that haven’t yet been matched.
- The document viewer panel to review the contents of the unmatched source document of your choice before matching it to a proforma form.

Source documents appear in the
Unassociated Documents
section only if the form category for that source document has proforma forms that appear in the Proforma Forms
section.note
To view the shortcut keys for this review wizard step, select the
Keyboard Shortcut
icon.Associating Unassociated Documents to a Proforma Form
Users can select a document from the
icon to add this form to the selected Proforma Form.
Unassociated Documents
section and the corresponding Proforma Form
you intend to associate it with, then select the middle Arrow
note
When an unmatched document is selected, its potential proforma forms will expand and be bolded in the
Proforma Form
section.
Users will see a notification if the attempted association can't be completed due to incompatibility. When this happens, select a new proforma form to associate this document to.

Alternatively, users can undo a matching they performed erroneously by selecting the source document from the
Proforma Form
section, and then selecting the middle Arrow
icon to remove the selected page to the Unassociated Documents
section.
Update a form name
If the proforma form name is not the same as the source document name, you can change the name of the proforma form after associating the respective source document to it.
Right-click the proforma form, then select
Edit
to begin changing its name.
The
Edit Form
window will appear.
Edit the name of this form in the
PAYER'S Name
field, then select SAVE
to save your changes. The change in the proforma form name will now be reflected in the New Form Review
panel.
If you've resubmitted the document with additional documents, then on a subsequent submission you can view the prior submission pages in the New Form Review wizard. Select the
icon next to them.
Show Auto-Matched
checkbox. The prior submitted pages will appear with the PS

You can't disassociate prior submission pages from the
Proforma Forms
panel. When you try, you will see a toast notification appear at the bottom of your screen indicating so.
Will I need to assign these forms every year?
You don’t have to match these documents to proforma’d forms every year. Instead, they’ll get associated automatically if the document comes with the same description as the current year.
In the New Form Review wizard, source documents may automatically get associated with a proforma Input Form.
Select the
Show Auto-Matched
checkbox to expand the Proforma Forms
section.note
This checkbox will be selected by default if all source documents have been automatically matched to their proforma forms by the system and no additional documents need to be matched manually in this step (that is, no source documents appear in the Unassociated Documents section).
