A Monitor or an External User may request access to your site’s business process documents, such as standard operating procedures (SOPs), work instructions, or policy memos. These are stored in the Site Documents eBinder, which is not visible to non-site staff users. However, you can share these documents with Monitors/External Users on an individual document basis, accessible to them through a report. When you choose to share a document, the document is visible to all Monitors and External Users at your site.
Documents in active workflows (including Read and Understand) will not display the option to change visibility until all active workflows have been completed or canceled.
Monitors can find instructions for viewing these documents on Find Documents Ready for Review.
