For licensed users of Workpapers CS with an active NetStaff CS portal

The File Exchange Documents portlet in Workpapers CS enables you to access and insert documents to and from the NetStaff CS portal directly into the engagement binder.

The following procedure assumes that you have set up a NetStaff CS login and have activated it in the Main tab of the Setup > Firm Information > Staff screen.

  1. Open the File Exchange Documents portlet in the Workpapers Dashboard.
  2. Click the Login button to log in to your NetStaff CS portal.
  3. Select the name of the portal from the drop-down list in the File Exchange View field.

    Note: Your firm's NetStaff CS administrator may need to adjust the File Exchange permissions on the NetStaff CS portal.

  4. Double-click the folder to move down a level and use the following toolbar buttons to navigate in the NetStaff CS portal in the File Exchange Documents portlet.
