The AWARDS Employee File Cabinet enables users with the appropriate authority to upload files to attach them to the records of a specific employee. Once uploaded, those files can be accessed by anyone with the authority to view that employee's staff information.
Uploaded files open in a new window, outside of AWARDS, using the software that was used to create them (i.e., Adobe Acrobat or Microsoft Word). If changes are made to a file once it has been opened and the updated file is saved on the user's device, those updates will not be reflected in AWARDS; rather, the updated file must be uploaded in place of the original version.
TIP: In addition to the Employee File Cabinet, separate Client and Agency File Cabinets are also available in AWARDS. The Client File Cabinet enables users to attach client-specific documents to file cabinets accessible within individual face sheets and the Services-Individual module. The Agency File Cabinet enables users to attach general agency-wide documents to a centrally located File Cabinet accessible to all users.
