Access to payment/subscription area is only available to Principal users of REI Forms Live. For further details about Principal Users see here.
As your REI Forms Live subscription comes close to renewal (30 days from renewal date) or your credit goes below a certain level (under $10), you will see a reminder banner appearing:
When Principal users click on the link in this banner they will be redirected to the subscription area of REI Forms Live.
When Non-principal users click on the banner link they will be redirected to the My Details area.
Pay Per Form subscriptions require credit to finalise forms. For a full list of form costs, see this price list.

This feature allows you to share and monitor activity to a form with a third party. An email with a link (identifying your agency, the agent and the form you are sending) will be sent to the nominated email address, allowing the recipient to click a secure link to download the form as a PDF.
*Please note:
There are two different areas where you are able to email your form from:
From the forms listWhen you have shared a form within REI Forms Live, within the forms list you will see an envelope icon, identifying the number of times you have shared a form.
When using the share feature within REI Forms Live, you will be presented with a dialog containing your Share Activity for the selected form
When a recipient clicks on the link within the email, which takes them to the download page, you will see the eye icon, identifying how many times they have viewed the download page.
If you use the <resend> link in the Share Activity dialog and resend a form to the same email address, this will disable access to the previously shared form.
Note: this is useful if you have shared a form with a recipient and forgotten to attach a file. Simply attach the file to the form and when you resend the Share to the same email address access to the original form has been disabled. Meaning they will only be able to open the version that you want them to have!
Also note: if you are in the habit of sharing Draft forms, access will be live, meaning if you share a draft form with a recipient and then make further edits, when they download the draft form, they are seeing the latest version of this form.
Finalising a form locks the form so no further changes can be made. When you finalise a form it will also remove the “DRAFT” watermark stamp. If you wish to edit a form once it has already been finalised, it may be duplicated into a new draft (refer to "Duplicating a Form" below).
The act of deleting a form removes the form from your form listing.
Once deleted, a form cannot be recovered.
This delete action is only available from the form list.
This feature is used so that you can download a PDF version of the form to your local computer from there you can also to open it to print. Depending on your Internet browser you can also choose to just open the form rather than downloading and print it.
Depending on your internet browser you will notice different results after clicking the print action.
Google Chrome:You will notice the below popup asking you to "Keep" or "Discard", After selecting "Keep" the form will download to your "Downloads folder". You can then open it to print.
You will notice the below popup asking you to "Open", "Save", "Cancel", If you click "Save" you will be able to download the form to your computer. By clicking "Open" it will open the form in a separate window which you can then print the form.

You will find a search field at the top right of the screen, both within the New Forms screen and the Forms listing.
This feature will allow you to automatically populate information from one form to another, which will save you time.

* In order to use the remote signing feature of REI Forms Live, you will complete a few extra steps in order to set up and authorise integration of DocuSign & REI Forms Live.

NB: The correct sequence is to select the Template, then select <+Create Form>. Once the form opens, make your additions. This is important to remember, as Templates are able to be edited by all users.
