Upload files for a client

Add documents and images to a client profile.

Overview

We automatically create two folders for each client added to the system:

  • Team’s shared (orange) = Client can see it in their portal. Staff can upload files they want to share with the client.

  • Client’s shared (green) = Client uploads only; staff can’t upload here (staff can view/download only).

Both the Team’s shared (orange) and Client’s shared (green) folders and contained contents are visible to the client in their portal.

Private folders: Any folder or file created outside Team’s shared is private (team-only) and not visible to the client. Private folder and files appear with a blue icon.

Upload client files

  1. Open Clients, find the client, then select ActionsView (or click the client’s name).

  1. Go to the Files tab.

  1. Open the destination folder by clicking on the name:

This may be any Private (blue) folder you have created for internal files or the Team’s shared folder (orange) (client-visible).

Remember:

  • Private / internal folder (blue) — team-only, not shown in the portal, or

  • Team’s shared folder (orange) — visible to the client in their portal.

  • You cannot upload to Client’s shared folder (green) (this is the client’s area).

Selecting My private folder (team-only). Files here are not visible to clients.

  1. Click Upload file, browse your computer, and select the file. It’s saved to Caspen in the folder you’re currently in.

Result

  • Files in Private are internal only.

  • Files in Team’s shared are visible to the client in their portal.

Tips

  • Use clear names (e.g., Referral_GP_2025-03-12.pdf ).

  • Add short descriptions for client-visible files.

  • Quick rule: If you want the client to see it, put it in Team’s shared. If you want it internal only, keep it in Private.
