Working with documents

To view the document details, click anywhere in the list other than the Name link.

Label	Description
Document name	Displays the file size, format and name. You can edit the name right here. You'll also see the upload status, either Not available, In Progress or Available.
Preview	Click to see a full preview. All file formats are displayed as a PDF in the preview for easy access on all devices.
Upload new version	Click to upload a new or updated document.
Download	Download a copy of the document.
Remove from compliance	If you want to remove the document from this compliance year. You can choose the keep the document in the Documents store or delete it permanently. If you've uploaded an existing document from online Documents, you'll see a message saying "The document 'upload-documents' has been removed from this compliance successfully. It is still available to view in central document storage."
Profiles	One of the handiest features of using documents in MYOB Practice is the ability to add document profiles. Add and edit profiles. If you add a new profile, you have the option to add a different client so that the same document applies to multiple clients. Add identifiers to help categorise your documents. Profile the documents by client, year, service and period, to organise and quickly find the right documents for different work. You can use these profile details when searching and filtering. The MYOB Practice Administrator needs to configure a few settings to set up profiling.
Document type	Select a document type. This helps categorise the document by what type of work it's associated with. For example, if you're uploading a legal correspondence, you might want to add a document type of Correspondence and a sub type of Legal. A document can only have one type assigned to it.
Versions	To tell the difference between two versions of the same document, see the date and time in the version history. Click the expand icon () to view any associated notes and download any version of the document.
Sharing	See who the document was shared with when the document was published to portal and if the document is part of any tasks

To convert a document to PDF

This is a good way to merge and consolidate, for example, multiple travel expenses receipts into one PDF.

There's currently no way to change the order that merged documents appear in a PDF.

On the Documents page, select the checkbox to the left of one or more documents in the document list. Additional options appear above the list.
Click Create PDF.
If you selected:
- one document, the PDF is created.
- multiple documents, the Create PDF window appears:
  1. If you want each document that you selected to be an individual PDF, select Do not consolidate, save each document separately and click Continue. The PDFs are created.
  2. If you want to merge the documents into one PDF, select Consolidate documents into a single PDF file, complete the additional options and click Continue.
Refresh the Documents list to see the PDFs in the list.

You can now download 150 documents or 1 GB worth of documents, whichever one of these limits you reach first.

To share a document to a portal

For more information on collaborating with clients, see:

On the Documents page, select the checkbox to the left of a document in the document list. Additional options appear above the list.
Click Publish to portal. The Publish to Secured Portal window appears.
Select whether a signature is required, whether you want to publish the document as a PDF, and whether you want to notify anyone.

If you select Signature required, the Publish as PDF option is automatically selected and cannot be deselected.

Click Next or Publish if you're not notifying anyone.
