The most important part about the initial training is to get the 4-Step process down for writing a case. From there, we can train on other functions but zero in on the initial bond writing process to begin

Here's a short video on how to go through the 4-steps.

The 4-Step process:

  1. Start the case

  2. Enter Bond Information

  3. Review

  4. Get Paid

Let’s begin


Step 1:

Enter information

1. Start by clicking the ‘Start New Case’ button either from the Home Screen or in the top right corner.

Option 1:

Option 2:

2. Enter the Defendant’s name and the county of the holding jail

3. Enter the Primary Indemnitor’s Name, Email and Phone Number

4. Confirm the information is correct and hit ‘Start Case’

5. Step-1 is completed. Move to Step-2


Step 2:

Enter Bond Information

1.) Step 1 - Fill in whatever defendant information you can. Anything you don’t have can be filled out (or “added”) later.

2.) Step 2 - Hit the ‘+’ button and select or enter power and fill in power information

3.) Step 13 - Fill in power information by clicking the...

button and editing the specific power information

Remember to fill in the finances associated with the power. Put the bond amount, hit the percentage you want to charge and any associated fees

Make sure you have all the information, and uploads to be collected and documents to be signed and hit ‘Notify Indemnitor’


Step 3:

Review - Review

  1. Select the ‘View Documents’ button to see the signed documents, and click ‘View Uploads’ to view the images and if everything looks good move to step 4!


Step 4:

Get Paid!

  1. Either click ‘Request Payment’ or ‘Bypass’

  • Request Payment - the indemnitor will receive a text message to pay by Credit or Debit Card

  • Bypass - Use this if they are paying with Cash or another form of payment

A couple other features that are good for the Agent to know

  1. Setting Up a Payment Plan

  2. Entering a Court Date

  3. Setting up a Check-In Schedule
