Client cannot see the documents in the portal

Quick answers to help you get the most out of Engager

If your client gets in touch to say that they can't find a document to review, then the first thing you'll need to check is your Folder Templates settings.

How to check and fix it

  1. Head to Settings > Portal > Folder templates.
  2. Choose the Client type: for your client, for example Limited Company. Folder templates are set per client type, so nothing shows until you choose one.
  3. From here, review the folders paying close attention to READ, which appears in green with a tick when it's enabled and grey with a cross when it isn't. So, locate the area in question and ensure that READ has been enabled, which means your client can then see the document in question.

  4. If it hasn't been switched on, select the change sharing options icon for that folder (the arrow out of a box, after the bin icon). This opens Change sharing options.
  5. Tick READ folder contents, then select Confirm. These options also affect all nested folders and files.
