The handoff

A file associated with the confirmed record, with the transfer outcome available to the responsible team.

Keep in mind

Customer files may contain confidential or personal information, and an incorrect destination can expose them to the wrong people. Confirm the file is necessary and approved for sharing, verify the exact record and access permissions, and require a person to approve the file and destination before transfer.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Define approved file sources and destinations

Choose which team files and customer record types are in scope for transfer.

Set file and access safeguards

Document which file types may be shared, who may access them, and how errors are handled.

Keep sensitive files appropriately restricted

Limit access, avoid retaining unnecessary copies, and follow the team’s retention rules.

Assign transfer approvers

Name who confirms each file, customer record, and access boundary before the transfer proceeds.
