Locking Documents by Service

Client, Contact, and Staff documents can be restricted by Service for added privacy. If a document is locked to a specific Service, only staff with access to that Service in their Staff Account privileges will be able to view and edit it. 

For example, if a specific report should only be viewable by Psychology Services and no other staff, access can be restricted to staff who work in or have access to the Psychology Service. This may also be useful for providers delivering NDIS Support Coordination and/or NDIS Financial Plan Management Services to Clients while also providing them with direct support. 

By default, any existing documents and any document that is uploaded will be available to All.

Audience: All
