Files and the file cabinet

Find, open, stamp and download the documents filed under a person, or across the whole agency.

Documents in CareComplete - signed forms, certificates, timesheets and the like - are filed under the people they belong to. You see one person's documents on their Files tab, and everyone's in the File Cabinet (in the sidebar under Filing). Both are lists, so filters, columns and bookmarks work as on any list.

New documents come in through the Inbox, where they are filed. See Filing documents from the inbox.

Find a file

Select Filter and narrow by Folder, Document, Has a stamp, Has no stamp, the Completed, Expires, Stamped or Filed dates, Filed by, or Notes contain. Each date has quick ranges such as Last 30 Days. The File Cabinet adds Filed under, Person type and Person status. Select Search to apply.

The list's columns include Document, Folder, Stamps, Filed under, Completed, Effective, Expires, Hours, Notes, Filed by and Filed on. A lock beside a document means a stamp has locked it.

A person's Files tab lists every document filed under them.

  • Info - the file's details. Change them and select Save.
  • Stamps - the stamps on the file.
  • Visits - shown when the file is the timesheet of one or more visits.
  • Download - save the file to your computer.
  • Window - open the file in a window of its own, to keep beside your work.

Stamp a file

  1. Open the file and select Stamps.
  2. Choose a stamp, add a note if you want, and select Stamp.

Some stamps lock the file: its details cannot be changed until that stamp is removed. To take a stamp off, select its bin button and confirm.

Download several files

Tick the files you want, then select the download button above the list. They download as one zip, up to 100 files at a time.
