When you go to View Files and Folders in the SmartVault portal navigation menu, you can manage your containers, vaults, and folders. Containers store vaults and folders containing your client and employee downloads, uploads, and correspondence. You can also use them to store your public and internal documents and other documents.

Use the Search, Sort, Move, and Copy tools to find and organize all your vaults and documents. Organize, print, and download files inside folders or in preview mode. From the Files and Folders page, you can also:

• Add a Vault or Container
• Upload Files
• Download Files
• Request a Signature on a File
• Request a Signature for Authoritative Copies
• Use Properties and more Actions, such as links, recycle bin, and notifications

Finding and Organizing Your Documents

There are three default containers in View Files and Folders:

• Clients
• Employees
• Firm

The Clients and Employees containers store your client and employee downloads, uploads, correspondence, and other documents. The Firm container stores your organization’s public and internal documents. More information is displayed in columns on each page, such as the file Name and last modified date.

You can also add your own vaults and containers. The container and vault structure is customizable so you can set up a vault and folder structure that works best for you and your organization. Your SmartVault account representative is ready to help you create an efficient Vault and folder structure —call or email them for help.

Details Pane

The Details pane shows your account name and details about your vault, including the Name, when the vault was created, and the last time it was modified. You can choose the maximum Rows per Page you want to view (10, 20, 30, 50, or 100) at the bottom of the folder list. You can also create shortcuts to vaults and folders you use often.
