Accessing a Document Locker

To view the Document Locker for a client, at minimum, you must have the Client Collaboration - Request Dashboard - Document Locker - View permission, as well as permission to access that client. This basic permission level allows you to view the list of files in the Document Locker and preview files stored there. Additional permissions are required to upload, download, or delete files.

To access the Document Locker for a client, do the following:

  1. If you are not already on a Requests page, click , and then select Requests.
  2. Do one of the following on the Requests dashboard, depending on the location of the request: 
    • To open a workflow status page, click the status name or status wedge in the Request Status section.
    • To open the Reopen status page, click View reopen requests on the Reopen tile.
    • To open the Overdue status page, click View overdue requests on the Overdue tile.
    • To open the Error status page, click View errors on the Errors tile.
  3. Do one or both of the following as needed to narrow the list of requests to select from:
    • Click above the grid and select a filter set. You can also create a new filter set.
    • Enter all or part of the client name in the search box above the grid.
  4. Click for the request, and then select View files in Document Locker.
