Give clients and contacts access to Client Center

You can give clients and contacts access to Onvio Client Center to collaborate and securely share and sign documents.

Before you start

  • Make sure you're assigned to a permission group that has
    Onvio Setup
    enabled.
  • Make sure all contacts that aren't business clients have a primary email address and the
    Entity Type
    is set to
    Individual
    in
    Setup > All Contacts
    .
  • Make sure all business clients have an individual contact listed as a relationship.
  • Each Client Center user needs to exist in a relationship to a client to be able to see documents and tasks in their portal.
  • You can only give access to Onvio Client Center to one client or contact at a time, but if you would like this option you can add an idea to the Ideas Community.

Enable Onvio Client Center

  1. Go to
    Setup
    and select
    All Contacts
    .
  2. Select
    Edit
    next to a client or contact in the list.
  3. Verify that the
    Email Address
    field is correct. If it's empty, enter an email address for the client or contact.
  4. Go to the
    Client Center Access
    tab.
  5. Turn on the
    Client Center
    switch.
    note
    If you don't see this switch, you can't turn on Client Center for this client or contact. Make sure that their entity is
    Individual
    and that you've entered a primary email address.
  6. Onvio will ask you when to send the client or contact an invitation to register their account. From the link in the registration email, they'll enter an email address and create a password for Onvio Client Center.
    • Choose
      Send Now
      to send the email immediately after you save your changes.
    • Choose
      Send Later
      to send the invitation email later. You can return to this
      Client Center Access
      tab to send the message at any time.
    note
    You can re-send the registration email or check registration status at any time by returning to the
    Client Center Access
    tab.
  7. Select
    Save
    when you're finished.
Next steps
  • After completing their registration, add folders for your clients so they can upload documents. Clients can't add their own folders.
  • Clients can also access their portal and shared documents using the Client Center mobile app.
  • In Onvio Client Center you can see and select clients from the dropdown that this contact is linked to through relationships.
