This guide is intended as an aid to setting up the Nortridge Loan System (henceforth NLS) for first time users. NLS is a powerful and flexible tool for servicing your loan portfolio and in order to maximize its functionality some configuration is needed. While certain sections of this guide may be skipped if they do not apply to your implementation of NLS, we recommend that you go through the complete configuration in the order presented here. This guide assumes you have installed NLS and any necessary related software (such as your database server platform). Please refer to the Installation chapter or contact Nortridge Software technical support if you require assistance in installing NLS.

Once you have NLS up and running and you are ready to start customizing NLS to your own specific needs, the complete NLS User Guide can be accessed by pressing F1 on the keyboard in NLS.
