Navigating the StrataMax Portal

After you have logged in to the StrataMax Portal, you will be taken to the Home screen. However if you have multiple properties linked to your StrataMax Portal Account, a list of linked properties will appear first. Click Select on the property you would like to view.

Once a property has been selected, you will see the Home screen.

This Home screen may appear differently to the screenshots in this article if your strata manager has customised their StrataMax Portal.

Current Property (1)
This will display the property you are currently viewing, if you have multiple properties on the same StrataMax Portal Account, the Change button will be available. Click Change to select another property on this account.

Account Settings (2)
The account settings allows you to manage your StrataMax Portal Account, such as changing your profile, password or email address, or to add, share or remove properties from your account. You can also log out from here.

Navigation Tabs (3)
These are the tabs available that will take you to the different areas of the StrataMax Portal. 

The Home Tab

The Home tab will have shortcuts to other areas of the StrataMax Portal, which can also be accessed using the navigation tabs.

Reports & Documents will take you to the Reports & Documents tab which will display reports and documents that your strata manager has made available for you. The type of reports and documents displayed is dependent on each individual strata management company. StrataMax has no control over what documents are made available to owners or committee members.

Payments will take you to the Payments tab which will allow you to make a credit card payment.

Share Property will take you to My Properties where you can select a property to share with another person. Sharing a property will allow the other user to access reports and document, and have access to VoteMax for electronic voting. They will need to have a StrataMax Portal Account, or create an account. If they do not have an account, an email will be sent to them with instructions on how to create an account.

Passwords will take you to Change Password where you can change your password for this StrataMax Portal Account.

Reports & Documents

Owners and committee members may have access to reports pertaining to your property. The types of reports and documents available will be solely dependent on your strata manager and what they make available.

Committee Reports
