What is the Shared Files page?
The Shared Files page allows members to share documents with your organization. These documents can be Birth Certificates, Immunization Records, Insurance Documents, Medical Exams, etc., that members upload and submit when completing their forms.
Organization Administrators can add, remove and edit Shared File containers from the Settings section on the dashboard.
For those organizations on the Enterprise Licensing package, the added functionality of staff uploading files and sharing those files with the parent/guardian/member is also an option. Please contact your Customer Success Manager or ePACT Support for more information.
Accessing the Shared Files Editor:
1. Log in to your ePACT Organization Administrator account and access the dashboard of the desired organization.
2. Click Settings on the top right-hand side of the page.
3. Click Files from the options on the left menu.
