The Global Folders feature simplifies sharing key documents across all client vaults, ensuring consistent access to essential resources. Follow this guide to set up and manage your Global Folders.

Step 1: Set Up Global Folders

  1. Prepare Your Folder Structure

    • Share your desired Global Folder structure with your Customer Success team.
    • The structure must have two levels:
      • Parent Folder (Level 1): Acts as the main category.
      • Child Folder (Level 2): Subcategories under the parent folder.
  2. Design for All Client Types

    • Keep the folder structure generic to suit all client vaults, even if individual vaults have varying Company Folder templates.
    • Ideal use cases include:
      • Disclosure documents
      • Communication templates
      • Welcome packages
      • Training guides and videos
      • General reference materials
  3. Activate Your Corporate Vault

    • Ensure your Corporate Vault is active before proceeding, as this is required for managing Global Folders.
  4. Our Team Will Add the Structure

    • Once the folder structure is finalized, the Customer Success team will implement it in your system.

Step 2: Manage Access to Global Folders

  1. Assign Permissions in the Corporate Vault

    • Log in to your Corporate Vault with the main CV credentials.
    • Navigate to the Contacts tab.
    • Under Users, locate team members you want to grant access to.
    • Double-click their name and edit their permissions.
    • Assign access to the appropriate entity and folders.Corporate Vault - Users Permission Panel
