Document vault

Store COIs, licenses, and permits with versions, expiry reminders, and secure share links.

Some features roll out gradually. If you do not see this section in your dashboard, it is not enabled for your account yet.

The document vault stores your compliance documents: certificates of insurance (COIs), licenses, permits, and signed agreements. It groups documents by expiration urgency, keeps version history, and shares documents with secure links.

How to upload a document

  1. Open Documents.
  2. Upload the file.
  3. Add the details: for example the carrier name, policy number, license number, and the effective and expiration dates.

When a document renews, upload a new version. The versions form a chain, and the current version's expiration date drives the grouping.

Expiration groups and reminders

The vault groups documents by how soon they expire:

GroupMeaning
ExpiredThe expiration date passed.
Expires within 7 days7 days or less remain.
Expires within 30 daysBetween 8 and 30 days remain.
Expires within 90 daysBetween 31 and 90 days remain.
ActiveMore than 90 days remain.
No expirationThe document has no expiration date.

BZAR sends expiry alerts 60, 30, and 7 days before a document expires.

How to share a document

  1. Open the document and create a share link.
  2. Add a recipient label or email so you know who holds the link.
  3. Optionally set an expiry on the link.
  4. Send the secure link.

Each link tracks the view count and the last viewed time. You can revoke a link at any time.

Good to know

  • You can link a document to a customer and to a project.
  • Signed contract PDFs can be stored in the vault.
