# Portal for Clients

When a buyer or seller opens their portal link, they see a clean, branded overview of their transaction — no login required, no app to download.

## What clients see

- **Transaction header** — Address, current status, organization branding, and any banner message you added
- **On-track banner** — A reassuring client-facing status message, including the estimated closing date when available
- **Key dates** — Important deadlines with progress, completion status, notes, and dates marked TBD, N/A, waived, overdue, pending, or in progress
- **Calendar subscription** — A live calendar URL they can copy into Google Calendar, Outlook, or Apple Calendar
- **Documents** — Documents marked visible for their portal contact, grouped by category, with preview and download controls only when downloads are allowed
- **Summary** — Transaction type, side, contract date, estimated closing date, purchase price, and address details when available
- **Tasks** — Tasks marked as portal-visible (things they might need to complete)
- **Contacts** — Buyers, sellers, agents, title, lender, and other transaction contacts you choose to expose
- **Service providers** — Inspectors, appraisers, and other vendors
- **Property details** — Reference fields such as escrow number, MLS number, or APN when present

## Portal actions

Clients can use the portal actions to:

- Print the portal view
- Download a branded one-page PDF summary
- Preview PDF and image documents
- Download shared documents when downloads are enabled
- Copy a live calendar feed for the visible key dates
- Switch between properties when the same contact has access to more than one active transaction

## What clients don't see

- Internal notes
- Your task list (unless you mark specific tasks as portal-visible)
- Documents that are hidden from the portal or restricted to a different portal contact
- Financial details you haven't shared
- Other transactions
- Other contacts' portal views
- Agent-facing financial/provider detail that is reserved for agent portals
- Agent-facing recent activity

The portal is read-only for transaction data. Clients can view status, dates, contacts, tasks, and documents, but they can't edit the transaction itself.

## Multiple active properties

If the same contact has portal access to more than one active transaction in your organization, DocJacket shows a **Your properties** switcher near the top of the portal. Each property opens its own secure portal link, so the contact can move between active deals without mixing the underlying transaction views.
