This SOP applies to Level 3 Audiovisual, Design Consulting, Integration, Managed Services, Sales Engineering, and Service projects managed under the Level 3 Audiovisual Project Management Organization (PMO).
RESPONSIBILITY
The following people are responsible for following this SOP.
- All Project Managers
- All Project Coordinators
PROCEDURE
To ensure Information Security, all files sent to clients for project closeout purposes must be sent using Office 365 and OneDrive.
First, log onto Office 365:
Second, access your OneDrive by clicking the Waffle Icon at the top left corner of the page.
Your OneDrive home page should look like this:
You will then need to click on My Files on the left of the page.
Next, click the +New button at the top of the page and select Folder.
Create a folder using the project number and name for the project closeout.
Once you have created the folder, click on the folder to add the closeout documentation.
Next, upload the files and folders needed for the project closeout.
After you have uploaded your files to the folder, you must go back to My Files to share the link with your client in the DocuSign Email.
Once you are back at the My Files interface, you must click on the sharing button for that folder, which automatically defaults to private when you create the folder.
On the next screen, you will manage access to the folder.
Enter the email address of the individual to whom you are granting folder access.
OneDrive is set up by default with access notifications when granting access to folders. To avoid confusion, it is recommended that you remove the notifications before sending the link to the client in DocuSign.
You can grant access to the file once you have unchecked the notify people box.
You will then see an Access granted notification on the screen.
Next, right-click on the folder to access the folder link.
Copy the link to the folder and add it to the project closeout email.
Lastly, paste the link into the closeout email template for your client.
