Documents privacy

Appulate users can determine the privacy type of uploaded documents:

Some document types can have restricted access. On the interface, the lock icon near a document's name displays its access type.

Note: By default, the documents uploaded on the Market Smart Q&A page are available to all companies in the submission chain. This applies even if the uploading company has its Document access set to My company only.

Settings page

The default privacy state of all uploaded documents is determined by the Document access setting on the Setup > Settings page.

The Settings page is only available to admin users.

Each user uploading a document can decide if it will be available only to their company or all companies in the submission chain in the Document Markup dialog. It opens right after you upload a document.
