Share folders

When you or other staff members share a folder in the Documents area with specific clients, those clients will be able to view and download the files in those folders from within Onvio Client Center.
note
In Onvio Client Center, Clients will see only individual files from the folders you share.
Select the checkbox for the folder that you want to share in
Client Documents
.
Select
Manage
, then
Share Folder
.
In the Share Folder window, select contacts who are associated with the current client and who have access to Onvio and assign folder sharing roles. Assigned roles will determine the actions that contacts can take on the files within the folder.
For details on permissions for folder-sharing roles in the Documents area, see

  • Clients can't share files.
  • When a client uploads files to a shared folder, Onvio notifies the Partner, Manager, and/or Associate who is assigned to the client in the Clients screen in
    General
    . Onvio notifies the firm Administrator if you haven't made assignments in the Clients screen.
