My Documents — filter by portal, member, doc type, and date, or search everything (sample data).

My Documents is where the results of every connected portal show up. This guide walks through what lands here automatically, how to search and filter it down, how to review, upload and send documents, and how investor groups tie back into the same filters.

What lands here automatically

You don't build this page by hand. As soon as a capital call, distribution notice, capital account statement, or NAV report is pulled from one of your connected portals, it's classified by document type and added here — searchable and filterable, with the original PDF one click away.

Connected portals are synced twice daily, so a new document from a portal shows up here automatically — not weeks later when you happen to log into that portal yourself.

Search and filter

The filter bar above the document table narrows the list down to exactly what you're looking for:

Like the member filter, the portal and document-type options are drawn only from documents your account actually has — you'll never see a type or portal listed that hasn't shown up in your own account.

Opening and reviewing a document

Click any row to open the document detail view, where you can read the original PDF alongside its extracted details.

Once you've looked at a document, mark it done using the Done toggle on its row (or select several rows and use the bulk Mark as done / Mark as not done action) so you can keep track of what's still outstanding. You can also ask Lumos how many of your documents are still unreviewed and it will give you the count.

Uploading your own documents

Not everything arrives through a portal connection. If a GP or administrator emails you a document directly, use the Upload button above the table to add it manually so it lives alongside everything else.

Drop one or more files onto the upload area, or select them from your computer. Each file must be a PDF no larger than 10MB; files are uploaded one at a time, so if one is rejected — wrong format, or over the size limit — the rest of your selection still goes through.

Adding documents by email

You can skip the Upload button entirely: email a document to your Elementar intake address (shared with you during onboarding) and it uploads from there on its own — landing in My Documents alongside everything your portals deliver. Duplicates are detected automatically, so re-sending the same file is harmless.

Three things to know for it to work:

Sending a document by email

Select one or more documents using the checkboxes in the table, then choose Send by email from the action bar that appears above the list. A single document or several at once are sent as attachments to the message you write.

Add recipients as a comma-separated list of addresses, a subject, and an optional message body, then send. If your current filters match more documents than fit on one page, a "Select all matching" option lets you select every matching document across every page — not just the ones currently visible — before you send.

Organizing investors into groups

If your book includes several investor or member names that belong together — for example, related entities held by one family member — create a named group under My Groups. A group is simply a name plus a set of member names you select; it doesn't carry any financial figures of its own.

Once created, a group becomes another filter option here on the Documents page, and a targeting option when you set up a Digest Rule (an automated email notification for new documents matching a set of criteria).

New documents since your last visit

When you open the Documents page, a short notice tells you how many new documents have arrived since you were last here — for example, "3 new documents since your last visit." It's a quick way to catch up on what's changed without re-scanning the whole list.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often does the Documents page update?

Elementar syncs your connected fund-administration portals twice daily. Any new capital call, distribution, statement, or NAV report picked up during a sync appears on the Documents page automatically, already classified by document type.

Why can I only see certain portals, members, or document types in the filters?

The Portal, Member, and Document Type filters are built from your own account's documents — they only ever list values that actually appear in your account, so you never see a placeholder list of portals or document types you don't have.

What happens if I try to upload a file that isn't a PDF?

Only PDF files up to 10MB are accepted. If you select several files and one is the wrong format or too large, that file is skipped with an error message — the rest still upload.

Can I send more than one document by email at once?

Yes. Select multiple documents with the row checkboxes and choose Send by email to attach them all to a single message. If your filters match more documents than fit on the current page, a Select all matching option lets you select every matching document across all pages before sending.

Does a group show combined performance figures for its members?

No. A group in My Groups is just a name plus a set of investor/member names. It has no attached financial figures of its own — it exists to power the Documents filter and Digest Rule targeting, not to roll up TVPI, DPI, or any other metric across its members.

Can I add documents by email instead of uploading them?

Yes. Email the PDF as a direct attachment to your Elementar intake address (shared during onboarding), from an email address registered on your account, and it uploads automatically into My Documents. Duplicates are detected, so re-sending a file is harmless.

My Documents is one tab away

The page described here lives under My Documents in your workspace sidebar, and updates itself as your connected portals sync twice daily. If something isn't behaving the way this guide describes, start with the troubleshooting guide.
