Portal Email Notification for Document's

Previously when a portal user uploaded many documents in a session a email notification was sent for each individual document. This feature has been improved to so that one one email is delivered and it will include the name of each document(s) uploaded all at once by the portal user. This will reduce the amount of emails received for document uploads.

Year folder on Portal

Back by popular demand! Clients can now organize their documents by year via the portal. Portal users will notice a new "year" option when uploading a document This will place the document into a year folder. This is a great addition to the portal for users to manage and organize their documents. If a OfficeTools by CARET document is associated to a year and is upload to the portal it will automatically create the year folder for the portal client.
