*This feature is only available in Quickli Pro

What it does

1. Document Preparation

  • Automatically renames uploaded documents

  • Converts image files to PDF

  • Redacts Tax File Numbers (TFNs)

  • Supports bulk uploads of up to 100 documents at once

2. Data Extraction

  • Extracts key financial data from documents (e.g. payslips, credit reports)

  • Identifies items such as:

    • Year-to-date income

    • Overtime and allowances

    • Liabilities (e.g. credit cards, loans)

  • Generates a scenario preview

  • Allows direct push into a scenario, eliminating manual data entry

This process significantly reduces time spent on document prep and review.


How it works

Uploading Documents

You can upload documents in two ways:

  • Use the upload button

  • Drag and drop files directly into the platform

The system automatically detects document types and renames them appropriately, even if filenames are unclear or generic.

Interface Overview

Once uploaded, the screen is divided into three sections:

  • Left panel: Renamed documents list

  • Middle panel: Scenario preview (extracted data)

  • Right panel: Document preview

This layout allows you to quickly verify documents and extracted data.

Managing Documents

For each document, you can:

  • Download the file

  • Edit naming conventions

  • Reclassify the document

  • Report an issue

  • Delete the document

You can also provide feedback using the “Report mistake” option


Settings

Global Settings

Ensure the following are enabled:

  • Convert to PDF

  • TFN redaction

Document Retention

Controls how long documents are stored in a scenario:

  • Options include temporary storage (e.g. 7 or 30 days) or permanent storage

  • Documents are deleted after the selected period if not set to “forever”

  • Deleted documents are not backed up

This is useful when waiting for additional client documents before finalising a scenario.

Document Templates

Organisation owners and managers can configure default naming conventions, including:

  • Date format

  • Name format

  • Field separators

You can also customise naming rules for individual document types (e.g. include or exclude balances). Changes are saved automatically for future use.

Lender Naming

Lender names can be abbreviated (e.g. National Australia Bank → NAB) to keep document names concise.

Reviewing Extracted Data

Select a document (e.g. payslip) and open the Extraction view to see:

  • Calculated values (e.g. income, year-to-date figures)

  • Supporting calculations (“workings out”)

Key Features

  • Edit any extracted field manually

  • Choose from alternative calculation methods if provided

  • View detailed breakdowns:

    • Overview

    • Pay summary

    • Earnings breakdown

The system can detect:

  • Overtime

  • Allowances

  • Salary sacrifice amounts


Managing Liabilities

The system extracts liabilities such as:

  • Credit cards

  • Existing loans

You can:

  • Edit balances, rates, or lenders

  • Add missing details if source documents are incomplete


Creating or Updating a Scenario

Once you have reviewed the extracted data:

  • Push data into a new scenario, or

  • Override an existing scenario

This removes the need for manual data entry and speeds up scenario creation.
