TABLE OF CONTENTS
The client document tab
You can access each client's specific document tab to view, sort and upload documents of any kind. Certain file types will have extra actions you can perform via the More actions dropdown menu.
Client-specific Folders
You can create new folder structures on a client by client basis:
You can edit a folder's name by selecting the folder and then choosing Edit folder from the More actions dropdown menu:
Practice Level Folders
You can also add a centralised client folder structure via Settings > Practice details. This will allow you to set up a structure that can only be set up, amended and removed by an Administrator level user, which is great to ensure documents aren't accidentally moved around or deleted. These structures will apply to all clients, and folders can be filtered in or out as needed.
For further information on folders, please see our guide: Creating document folders and subfolders
Adding new client documents
There are several ways to add a new client document. Firstly, you can simply upload it to the client's document tab. This can be uploaded via the Upload button at the top of the tab:
You can drag and drop documents, folders or folder structures straight into Senta from your file explorer:
When adding documents you'll be offered a choice of who they are visible to:
Once you've chosen who can see the documents, you'll see your upload(s) in the document tab:
Please note: if you try to drag and drop an empty folder into Senta, it won't upload.
