User settings for document manager

The default settings are:

'

1. In the top section you choose which type of document manager you want to use.

Note that the new document manager is currently available only when the browser is running on a Windows computer.

The classic method must be used on platforms such as Apple Macintosh computers.

2. This option only applies to the new document manager.

If you are not logged in to Case Manager when you save and close the local copy of your document, the automatic upload of this document to Case Manager will not proceed. This is because security is our first priority. Case Manager needs to verify your credentials before uploading anything to your database.

You can chose whether you want to be asked to sign in again, or whether you prefer that the document is uploaded and unlocked when you next log in to Case Manager.
