Government Portals: add the portals you file on

Steps

1. 1

   Open Government Portals

   In the left menu, open the group Tools and select Government Portals. Read the blue note first: Filing is manual. The app has no access to EmaraTax, MOHRE or the other government portals, so it cannot submit filings or read their status. You file on the portal yourself, then record the submission and its receipt here.

   • Select Tools
   • Select Government Portals
2. 2

   Read the empty page

   The page has two parts. Submissions and receipts will list each filing you record. Portals will show a card for each authority website. Both are empty, and the button Record submission is greyed out until a portal exists.

3. 3

   Select Add portal

   Select Add portal at the top right. The Add government portal form opens. The note under the title says that credentials are optional, stored encrypted for your reference, and that the app does not sign in to the portal with them.

   • Select Add portal
4. 4

   Choose the portal

   Open Portal. Seven authorities are listed: EmaraTax of the Federal Tax Authority, MOHRE, which is the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation, DIFC, ADGM, the Central Bank, the Ministry of Finance, and Customs. Choose EmaraTax, where tax returns are filed.

   • Select Portal
5. 5

   Type a name

   In Name type what your team calls this account, here EmaraTax main account. The name is required and needs at least two characters. If the company has more than one account on the same portal, the name is how you tell them apart.

   • Type Name: EmaraTax main account
6. 6

   Leave the address and the credentials empty

   Portal URL is optional: the web address of the portal's sign-in page, for colleagues who need to find it. Credentials JSON is optional too. Leave both empty for this portal, and select Add portal at the bottom.

   • Select Add portal
7. 7

   Read the portal's card

   The portal appears as a card with its name, its authority and the label Manual filing: no credentials are stored, so you file on the portal and record the submission here. The card has the buttons Record submission, Check connection and Activity, a pencil to edit, and a button to remove credentials.

   

8. 8

   Add a second portal with a stored sign-in name

   Select Add portal again. This time choose MOHRE and type the name MOHRE payroll account. In Portal URL type the invented address https://portal.example.com/labour.

   • Select Add portal
   • Select Portal
   • Choose MOHRE
   • Type Name: MOHRE payroll account
   • Type Portal URL (optional): https://portal.example.com/labour
9. 9

   Type the credentials the wrong way

   Credentials JSON holds details such as the sign-in name of the account. First see what happens with plain words: type training user and select Add portal. A red message says Credentials must be valid JSON, and nothing is saved.

   • Type Credentials JSON (optional): training user
   • Select Add portal
10. 10

    Type the credentials the right way

    Replace the text with a JSON object: an opening curly bracket, the word username in double quotes, a colon, the invented sign-in name training.user in double quotes, and a closing curly bracket. Select Add portal. The help under the field says the content is encrypted before storage and never shown again.

    • Type Credentials JSON (optional): {"username": "training.user"}
    • Select Add portal
11. 11

    Read the second card

    The second card is labelled Credentials saved, not verified. The line under it explains that the credentials are stored encrypted for your reference and have not been checked against the portal. Beside Credentials it says No expiry set.

12. 12

    Select Check connection

    Select Check connection on the second card. A message answers Not verifiable: ComplianceOS has no access to this portal, so nothing was contacted. The button does not test your sign-in.

    • Select Check connection
13. 13

    Select Activity

    Select Activity on the same card. The window lists the checks made for this portal: one line, with the time, the action Connection check and the result Not verifiable. Select a line to see its details, then close the window.

    • Select Activity
14. 14

    Close the window and use the filter

    Close the Activity window. On the left, under In this module, the counts read All portals 2, Credentials saved 1, Manual filing 1 and Disconnected 0. Select Credentials saved: only the MOHRE card is shown. All portals shows both again.

    • Select Close
    • Select Credentials saved
