Client Off-boarding Process - non-integrated

The following process describes the steps involved in Off-boarding Client Entities from Nimbus where the Client Entity is NOT integrated with any CRM or PM System. Note that these Clients may be manually deleted.

  1. Export Client History from Nimbus and save to Client folder

  2. Delete the Client in Nimbus

  3. Check if Contacts have been deleted

  4. If Non CDM Customer, determine if Client folder will be deleted from Business Documents area.

1. Export Client History:

When a Client entity is deleted from the system, the system will also delete the Client History. If required, this information can be exported to a .csv file and then stored against the Client entity prior to deleting it from the system. This file is then kept in the Orphaned Client folder.

For more detailed information on Client History, please refer to this linked article.
Client History

2. Delete the Client in Nimbus

  1. Locate the Client entity on your Client grid (via the Client menu)

  2. Click the Blue Edit arrow icon to open the Client properties

  3. Click the Delete button

 

To determine whether or not your Client Entity is integrated, you can:

  • Modify your Client Grid to show the Integrated flag, or

  • Edit the Client by clicking the blue edit arrow, and checking to see if the data fields on the Client tab are greyed out.

When a Client Entity is deleted from the Nimbus system, the following occurs:

  • Email jobs previously sent to the Client entity, are removed from the Email Jobs grid and no longer display (only relevant if you subscribe to Email Jobs)

  • If a Client Entity is NOT removed from the Nimbus Client Grid, it means that there are Email Jobs with Documents for Signature.  In these cases, the Client entity may be deleted manually if required.

    • All historical email jobs are recorded in the Client History

  • All Client History is deleted

    • This information can be exported from Nimbus to a .csv file and then stored against the Client entity prior to deleting it from the system

  • Once the Client Entity is deleted, the Client folder is retained in the system as an Orphaned Client folder containing all Client documents.

    • This folder is visible via the Documents menu and is shown as a Green Business Folder

3. Check if Contacts have been deleted:

Where a Client Entity is deleted (and therefore removed from the Client grid in Nimbus), and any related Contacts have a login, AND they are not related to any other Client Entities, then the Contact(s) become editable and may be deleted.

Where a Client Entity is deleted (and therefore removed from the Client grid in Nimbus), and any related Contacts DO NOT have a login, AND they are not related to any other Client Entities, then the Contact(s) are removed from Nimbus.

If the Contact is not deleted from Nimbus, the Contact will be able to login to a Nimbus Client Portal. What they can see will depend on whether they are related to any other Client Entities.

4. Delete any Client Documents:

When the Client Entity is deleted from the Client Grid, the system will move the folder to the Documents menu (the client folder will become a green business folder) IF it contains documents / files.

If you wish to remove all files and the folder from your Nimbus account, click the blue edit arrow for Folder Properties, and click the Delete button.

 

If you subscribe to Nimbus CDM

If you also have Nimbus Cloud Document Management, you are then able to delete the folder and move all of the documents to Archive.
