There are two options when adding documents on Access Education People:

  • Uploading a document to all of the employees in the system, which will show for everyone in Self Service > Document Library

  • Uploading a document to only one specific employee, which will show for them in Self Service > Document Library

πŸ“Œ Note: The system does not currently include any features to upload documents to a certain group of employees instead of all employees.
