Release Date: May 28, 2021
Introducing Request Docs!
Request Docs is a new and efficient way to ask your clients for a list of documents they can easily upload.
The feature offers SmartVault Administrators and Guest users increased confidence and visibility into the document request and upload process.
Note
- The Request Docs feature is only available for all SmartVault Structured Accounting plans except for the Tax Prep plan. If you’re on the Tax Prep plan, you can upgrade to one of our Accounting Pro plans available on your Billing page or contact our Support Team to assist.
- Version one of the Request Docs feature is only available to Administrators and Account Employees. We will make the functionality available to Assigned Employees in the next release.
Benefits
- Easier and more simplified workflow around document requests.
- All-in-one document request management.
- Reduced number of notifications you receive from clients and guests.
How it works
With Request Docs, you can select a template connected to an engagement, customize it as needed, and submit it to your clients and guests.
- SmartVault provides you with some built-in templates to help you get started, or you can customize them to your needs.
- When requested, your guests and clients receive an email with a link to upload the requested documents. Also, they can see the request form on their Guest portal and easily upload the requested files.
