Temenos Lifecycle Management Suite - Origination Product Guide
Virtual Capture Settings

The Virtual Capture Settings page in System Management (System Management > Origination > Virtual Capture > Virtual Capture Settings) enables system administrators to create different instances of Virtual Capture for their institution in order to customize the virtual application process for specific groups of applicants, based on institutional preferences for messages, branding, products, cross-sells, etc. that meet the needs of each group.

This page displays a list of all instances configured for Virtual Capture, and provides system administrators the ability to easily create and manage the instances available for their institution.

The grid in this page is grouped by instance type (Individual or Vendor), and displays the following columns of information for each instance:

If an institution does not use the Merchant Lending functionality, and/or does not have any Vendor instances configured, the Vendor grouping does not appear in the Virtual Capture Settings page.
Column Description
Instance Name Displays the name of the instance.
Instance Code Displays the code assigned to the instance.
Instance Type Displays a value of Individual or Vendor to identify the instance type.
Active Displays a  if the instance is active.
Modified By Displays the name of the user who last modified the instance.
Modified Date Displays the date that the instance was last modified.

The Virtual Capture Settings topic includes the following information to assist administrators with creating and managing instances for Virtual Capture:  

Instance Attributes

All Virtual Capture instances share common attributes that are defined within the following tabs when creating, copying, or editing an instance:

General

The General tab provides the ability to define the basic information for each instance of Virtual Capture, as well as activate the instance for the institution.

The following instance attributes are defined in the General tab:

Attribute Description
Instance Name

Enter a name for the instance. This field is not case sensitive, and must include a unique value.

Each instance name must be unique; therefore, if the instance name matches an instance already configured for the institution, an error is received when trying to save to inform that there is an existing instance with that name, and a new name must be entered.

When an instance is deleted, the record is removed from the Virtual Capture Settings page, but the data for the instance remains in the database; therefore, the above error is also received when trying to save an instance with the same name as an instance  that no longer appears in Virtual Capture Settings.
Instance Code

Enter an alphanumeric code to be used to identify the instance. This field is not case sensitive, and must include a unique value.

The following is a reserved list of values that cannot be entered as an Instance Code, or an error is received when trying to save the instance:

  • Applicant
  • Application
  • BalanceConsolidation
  • Base
  • CreateApplication
  • Error
  • FISIDAuthentication
  • Home
  • ListApplication
  • LoanFunding
  • Login
  • OnlineProfile
  • Ping
  • Products
  • Promotions
  • Screen
  • Test
  • Vendor

Each instance code must be unique; therefore, if the instance code matches an instance already configured for the institution, an error is received when trying to save to inform that there is an existing instance with that code, and a new code must be entered.

When an instance is deleted, the record is removed from the Virtual Capture Settings page, but the data for the instance remains in the database; therefore, the above error is also received when trying to save an instance with the same code as an instance  that no longer appears in Virtual Capture Settings.
Modifying the Instance Code changes the URL for the instance, and causes any existing links to the instance to break; therefore, when an Instance Code is modified, a message is presented to ensure that the value of the Instance Code should be changed. If it is desired to change the value, click Yes to update the Instance Code for the instance. Upon clicking Yes, the message is closed, and the Home URL is updated to include the new Instance Code.
Home URL

Read-only field that populates with a URL to the Virtual Capture instance. This field is blank until an Instance Code is entered. Once an Instance Code is entered, this field populates with a link that navigates directly to the Virtual Capture instance, as shown below:

Instance Type

Select Individual or Vendor to identify the type of instance being created. This field defaults to Individual.

The Vendor option is only available within this drop-down list if the Merchant Lending solution is active for the institution. For more information on activating this solution, please see the Getting Started with Virtual Capture topic in this guide.
The Instance Type cannot be edited once an instance is created. When editing an instance, this field is disabled within the General tab.
If desired, institutions can create multiple vendor instances, or configure one vendor instance, and assign the applicable application types and instances to each vendor within the Vendor Portal tab in Vendor Management. For more information, please see the Vendor Portal section of the Vendor Management topic in this guide.
Default Instance

If desired, select an instance from the drop-down list to enable the ability to copy the settings from that instance to the one being created. This drop-down includes a value of None, and a list of all active instances of the same instance type.

When a value is selected, any instances related to the one in context are removed from the drop-down list. For example, if "University" is selected as the default instance for "ABC University," the "School" instance does not appear in the list since it is the default instance for University. 

 

By default, this field is set to None, which identifies that each tab of attributes is unique to the instance being created, and disables the Use Default Settings check box within each tab. When an instance is selected, the Use Default Settings check box is enabled within each tab, and administrators can individually determine which settings from the default instance are copied to the new instance.

 

For example, when an institution offers various products to different universities, administrators can create a base instance that is used for all universities, and then separate instances for each specific school. This functionality allows administrators to apply certain settings from the base instance across all school instances, such as basic messaging and login information, while customizing other settings on an individual basis that make the virtual experience unique for each university, such as branding.

Watch the following video to see the Use Default Settings functionality in action!

image

If the value of the default instance is modified, any tabs with the Use Default Settings check box selected are automatically updated to reflect the settings of the new instance. If the default instance is updated to None, the settings of the previous default instance remain in each tab, but the fields are enabled to allow the values to be modified.
Active

Select the check box to enable the instance for the institution.

If an instance is set as the Default Virtual Capture Instance for the institution in the Origination tab of the Origination page, the instance cannot be disabled; therefore, if the Active check box is cleared for the instance, an error is received when trying to save the instance settings. For more information on Default Virtual Capture Instance parameter, please see the Origination section of the Origination topic in this guide.

Messaging

The Messaging tab provides the ability to define the messages presented to applicants during the virtual application process, as well as configure certain settings for the instance, such as the number of days to show disbursed applications.

When a default instance is assigned within the General tab, the Use Default Settings check box can be used to automatically copy the Messaging attributes defined for the default instance to the instance being created.

This check box is disabled when Default Instance is set to None within the General tab.

If it is desired to copy the Messaging attributes from the default instance, select the Use Default Settings check box within the top of the Messaging tab; otherwise, leave the Use Default Settings check box blank to define unique values for the instance.

Once the Use Default Settings check box is selected, the fields within this tab are disabled, and populate with the values defined for the default instance. To learn more about this functionality, please see Default Instance within the General section of this topic.

The Account Application Types tab provides the ability to set a default workflow model for Virtual Capture applications that only include account products, as well as assign a Virtual Capture workflow model to each Account Application Type for the instance.

When a default instance is assigned within the General tab, the Use Default Settings check box can be used to automatically copy the Account Application Type attributes defined for the default instance to the instance being created.

This check box is disabled when Default Instance is set to None within the General tab.

If it is desired to use the same Account Application Type attributes from the default instance, select the Use Default Settings check box within the top of the Account Application Types tab; otherwise, leave the Use Default Settings check box blank to define unique values for the instance.

Once the Use Default Settings check box is selected, the fields within this tab are disabled, and populate with the values defined for the default instance. To learn more about this functionality, please see Default Instance within the General section of this topic.

When Use Default Settings is not selected, the following attributes are available within the Account Application Types tab, and able to be defined for the instance:

Attribute Description
Account Application Type

Displays a read-only list of the active Account Application Types configured in System Management > Origination > Account > Account Application Types.

If an application type is disabled in the Account Application Types page, the value is removed from the grid in this tab. For more information on Account Application Types, please see the Account Application Types topic in the Administrator Guide.
Virtual Capture Workflow

Displays an editable list of the Virtual Capture Workflow Models assigned to each Account Application Type. When an Account Application Type does not have a workflow model assigned, a blank value appears in this column. When a row is clicked, the field becomes editable, and allows administrators to select a value from a drop-down list that includes all Virtual Capture Workflow Models configured in System Management > Origination > Virtual Capture > Virtual Capture Workflow Models.

The drop-down list includes all workflow models configured in the Virtual Capture Workflow Models page, including those that are disabled. If a workflow model is disabled, the word "[INACTIVE]" appears next to the workflow model name. For example, General - Checking INACTIVE].

If a Virtual Capture workflow model is disabled after it is assigned to an Account Application Type, the workflow model remains assigned to the Account Application Type, but the value in the Virtual Capture Workflow Model column is updated to display "[INACTIVE]." If an application including the disabled workflow model comes in through Virtual Capture, the system automatically uses the Default Workflow Model.

The Default Workflow Model field in the top of the tab determines the workflow model that is used in a virtual application when an Account Application Type does not have a workflow model assigned. This field defaults to the first active workflow model configured in the Virtual Capture Workflow Models page in System Management, but can be modified by selecting a new value from the drop-down list.

The Default Workflow Model drop-down includes a list of all active Virtual Capture Workflow Models. If a workflow model is disabled in the Virtual Capture Workflow Models page, the workflow model does not appear in the Default Workflow Model drop-down list.

Once assigned as the Default Workflow Model within the Account Application Types tab, the workflow model cannot be disabled in the Virtual Capture Workflow Models page.

Rule Configuration to set the Account Application Type

In order for account applications to be created in a Virtual Capture instance, a Product Selection rule to set the Account Application Type must be authored in System Management > Origination > Rules Management. The Product Selection Rule generates an application for the appropriate Account Application Type based on the criteria defined in the rule. For example, if a different account application type must be assigned for a Checking account product and Savings account product, a Product Selection rule can be authored using host values to set the Account Application Type based on the value of the Account Product Category and Sub-Category.

The following example illustrates a Product Selection decision table rule written under the Application.AccountProducts entity to set Account Application Types based on the Account Product Category and Sub-Category:

There are many ways to author a rule; therefore, the following rule should be used as an example ONLY.

An example of a rule condition for Category and Sub-Category is as follows:

If setting multiple Account Application Types in the rule, a separate Category and Sub-Category condition must be defined for each Account Application Type being set.

Category

Sub-Category

For information on authoring rules, please see the Rules Management topic in this guide.

Using the above example, when an applicant applies for a checking account product in Virtual Capture, the application is created using the General - Checking account application type. During the application process, the applicant is presented with the Virtual Capture Workflow Model assigned to the General - Checking application type in the Account Application Types tab of Virtual Capture Settings.

When only account products have been selected, and an applicant applies for multiple account products at once, if any of the account products are assigned different account application types, the system automatically creates the application using the account application type for the first account product added to the application.

Device Parameters

The Device Parameters tab provides administrators with the ability to configure the look and feel of the virtual application on both small and large devices. Within this tab, administrators can set parameters to control how the virtual application is presented on each type of device an applicant may use to access the instance of Virtual Capture. For example, a large device such as a tablet or laptop, or a small device, like a smart-phone or mini tablet.

A device that has a width of 768 pixels or greater is considered a large device.

When a default instance is assigned within the General tab, the Use Default Settings check box can be used to automatically copy the Device Parameter attributes defined for the default instance to the instance being created.

This check box is disabled when Default Instance is set to None within the General tab.

If it is desired to copy the Device Parameter attributes from the default instance, select the Use Default Settings check box within the top of the Device Parameters tab; otherwise, leave the Use Default Settings check box blank to define unique values for the instance.

Once the Use Default Settings check box is selected, the fields within this tab are disabled, and populate with the values defined for the default instance. To learn more about this functionality, please see Default Instance within the General section of this topic.

This parameter is only enabled when the Cards Per Page parameter is greater than one.

When selected, all product cards are set to the same height as the tallest card on the page. If this check box is not selected, the height of the product cards is determined by the amount of content within the card, and does not display consistently within the Product Selection page.

ShowExample

In the following example, the Consistent Card Height parameter is set to true for a large device; therefore, each product card is set to the same height.

In the example below, the Consistent Card Height parameter is set to false; therefore the height of each product card is determined by the amount of content included in the body of the card:

 

Display Card Image

Select the check box to display the large image for the product within the body of the product card.

By default, this parameter is set to false for both large and small devices.

When set to true, the image that populates in the body of the product card is the large image configured for the product in the General tab of the Product Configuration window in Virtual Capture Products. If this parameter is set to true, but a large image is not uploaded for the product, an image is not displayed within the body of the product card in the Virtual Capture instance. For more information, please see the General section of the Virtual Capture Products topic in this guide.

Display Header

Select the check box to display a header row in the top of each product card.

By default, this parameter is set to true for small devices, and false for large devices.

In the following example, the Display Header parameter is set to true; therefore a gray header row is displayed within the product card:

When the Display Header parameter is set to false, the product card appears as shown below:

Display Header Image

Select the check box to display the small image for the product within the right side of the header row in the product card.

This parameter is set to false by default, and is only enabled when the Display Header parameter is set to true.
When set to true, the image that populates in the header row of the product card is the small image configured for the product in the General tab of the Product Configuration window in Virtual Capture Products. If this parameter is set to true, but a small image is not uploaded for the product, an image is not displayed within the body of the product card in the Virtual Capture instance. For more information, please see the General section of the Virtual Capture Products topic in this guide.
Allow Collapsible Cards

Select the check box to allow the product cards to be collapsed and expanded in the Product Selection page.

The Allow Collapsible Cards parameter is only active when the Cards Per Page parameter is equal to 1, and the Display Header parameter is set to true. By default, this parameter is set to true for small devices, and false for large devices.

ShowExample

In the following example, the Allow Collapsible Cards parameter is set to true; therefore a "^" appears next to the product name in the header row of the card to allow the applicant to easily expand and collapse each product:

When the Allow Collapsible Cards parameter is set to false, the expand/collapse behavior is not available and the full card is displayed for each product as shown below:

If multiple products are configured for a sub-category, applicants may have to scroll to view each product card on a small device.

Collapse by Default

Select the check box to display all product cards in a collapsed view when the Product Selection page is accessed in the instance of Virtual Capture.

This parameter is set to false by default, and is only enabled when the Cards Per Page parameter is equal to 1, the Display Header parameter is set to true, and the Allow Collapsible Cards parameter is set to true.

Display Progress Bar

Select the check box to display a progress bar in the top of the Virtual Capture application, which can be used to assist applicants with tracking their progress through the Origination stage of the workflow.

This parameter is set to false by default, and only displays during the Origination stage of a Virtual Capture application.

The progress bar is calculated based on the total amount of panels across all of the Origination screens assigned to the Virtual Capture Workflow Model, and automatically adjusts as applicants move forward or backward through a workflow to display their percentage of completion.

The progress bar functionality does not apply to Applicant screens configured as edit screens for a panel, such as the screen that appears when adding or editing an additional applicant.

ShowExample

When set to false, the progress bar does not display in the application.

 

In the following example, the Display Progress Bar parameter is set to true for the instance; therefore, a bar displays within the top of the Virtual Capture application to identify the percentage of the workflow completed by the applicant:

 

For information on how the percentage complete is calculated, and to see the progress bar in action, please see the Progress Bar section in the Virtual Capture Overview topic.

By default, this parameter is not selected.

ShowIndividual Login Attributes

When the Instance Type is set to Individual, the Login tab includes the following sections:

Single Sign-On

Single Sign-on (SSO) is available when an applicant accesses an instance of Virtual Capture through a financial institution web site where he or she has been previously authenticated. Using this login method, once an applicant selects a product in Virtual Capture, they are not prompted to enter their login information. An HTTPS request is used to validate the applicant's Username, Password, Person Number, Account Number, and TIN with information stored in the core.

The Single Sign-On section provides administrators with the ability to define the error messages received when an applicant signs in to the instance of Virtual Capture through their financial institution's web site.

The following attributes are defined within this section of the Login tab:

Attribute Description
Copy Demographics for Account Holder

By default, this parameter is set to true to pre-populate address, phone, and income information from the core for existing account holders in Virtual Capture. If set to false, the system does not populate the applicant's income and demographic data from the core in the Virtual Capture.

Demographic information also pre-populates in a Virtual Capture application when accessed in Temenos Infinity.
Copy Demographics from Previous Applications

By default, this parameter is set to true to pre-populate address, phone, and income information from the most-recent application on record for an existing account holder in Virtual Capture. If set to false, the system does not populate income and demographic data from the applicant's previous application in Virtual Capture.

This parameter is only active when Copy Demographics for Account Holder is set to true. If Copy Demographics for Account Holder is set to false, this parameter is disabled as institutions are not able to copy demographics from previous applications unless they also copy the information from core.
When both Copy Demographics for Account Holder and Copy Demographics from Previous Applications are set to true, demographic data from the previous application is loaded first, and then any updates to the data from core are applied to the application.
Error Message for Account Holder not found in Core Enter the error message text to display when the Last Name, SSN and Account Number entered within a screen in Virtual Capture do not match an account in the financial institution's core system.
Error Message for Account Holder with closed account Enter the error message text to display when the Account Number entered within a screen in Virtual Capture matches a closed account. 
Valid IP Addresses(es) for Token (commas separated list)

Enter the IP Addresses that are permitted to access the instance of Virtual Capture. When an applicant tries to access the Virtual Capture instance from an IP Address that is not in this list, the applicant receives an error to inform that the single sign-on request could not be authenticated, and is unable to access the Virtual Capture application. If no IP Addresses are included in this list, applicants are able to access the Virtual Capture application from any IP Address.

This field accepts one or more IP Addresses separated by commas. When including multiple values, the IP Addresses can be entered with or without a space after the comma.
Token Expiration in Minutes

Enter the number of minutes that the session token for the Virtual Capture instance is considered valid. After the number of minutes defined within this field expires, an error is received to inform that the token has expired and a new request to access Virtual Capture must be made.

This field defaults to 15 minutes. If the value of this field is blank, the system continues to default the token expiration to 15 minutes.

Guest Login

The Guest Login section provides administrators with the ability to configure the login process for applicants who access the instance of Virtual Capture through an Online Profile or Guest application. The information configured within this section determines the error messages that return during the login process, as well as the information that appears within the Guest Login panel in the Login screen, or the Start New Application screen presented when an application is created under an Online Profile. Within this section, system administrators are also able to activate the Guest Verification process for the Virtual Capture instance, and determine the email message sent to applicants with and without existing guest applications.

Blacklist IP Addresses

The Blacklist IP Addresses section provides administrators with the ability to enable IP address tracking, and configure the error message that displays when an applicant's IP address is blacklisted.

The following attributes are defined within this section of the Login tab:

Field Description
Capture IP Address

Select this check box to enable IP address tracking for the Virtual Capture instance.

 

When an application is saved in Virtual Capture, the IP address is stored within the IPAddress field. If the IP address fulfills the Blacklist parameters defined in System Management > Modules > Origination, the IP address is prohibited, and displayed within the list of blacklisted IP addresses in System Management > Origination > Virtual Capture > Blacklist IP Addresses.                

IP addresses are not stored for applications created within Temenos Infinity; they are only stored for applications created through Virtual Capture.
If an applicant uses one IP address to access the instance of Virtual Capture, then later uses another, if the first IP address is not blacklisted, the IP Address field updates to store the second, most-recent IP address. 
Error Message for Blacklisted IP Address Enter the error message to display in the instance of Virtual Capture when an applicant's IP address is blacklisted.
Upon logging in to an instance of Virtual Capture, and accessing a previously created application, Virtual Capture compares the current IP address with the list of blacklisted IP addresses. If the current IP address is blacklisted, the error message configured within this field is presented to the applicant.

Creating and Managing Virtual Capture Instances

The Virtual Capture Settings page allows administrators to create and manage Virtual Capture instances for their instances. From this page, administrators are able to perform the following actions:

Create a Virtual Capture Instance

To create a Virtual Capture instance:

Any changes made within the Virtual Capture Settings page are not applied to the Virtual Capture instance until the web application is refreshed. By default, Virtual Capture is automatically refreshed every 30 minutes to apply the updated configurations to the Virtual Capture applications.

Institutions can use the Virtual Capture Configuration Refresh Frequency parameter to customize the number of minutes that pass before an automatic refresh of the virtual application occurs. This parameter is set within the System tab of System Management >Modules> Origination. For more information, please see the System section of the Origination topic in this guide.

If desired, an IT resource for the financial institution can perform an IIS reset on the DMZ server where Virtual Capture is installed to immediately apply the changes for the instance; however, it is recommended that the IIS reset is performed off hours, as this impacts any users logged in to Temenos Infinity, and may cause temporary slowness for any applicants logged in to the Virtual Capture web application.

Copy a Virtual Capture Instance

To copy a Virtual Capture instance:

Edit a Virtual Capture Instance

To edit a Virtual Capture instance:

Delete a Virtual Capture Instance

If an instance is set as the Default Virtual Capture Instance within the Origination tab in System Management > Modules > Origination, or is assigned as the Default Instance, or parent, for another instance in the General tab of Virtual Capture Settings, the instance cannot be deleted. Upon clicking Yes to confirm that the instance should be deleted, an error is presented to inform that the instance cannot be removed since it is assigned as the Default Virtual Capture Instance, or the parent to one or more instances.
