Uploading Documents

GTS includes the ability to store case documents that have been scanned. For example, when a petition for guardianship is filed, the petition can be scanned and uploaded into the GTS case during the case creation process. Uploaded documents can be viewed by other court staff, guardians, attorneys, and interested parties on the case that have been granted secure access.

For court staff, documents can be uploaded in numerous locations. The following are a few examples:

• On the Add Guardianship Case screen when creating a new GTS case for a petition.

• On the Add Case Action screen when recording a case action.

• Below the Signature and Affirmation sections of guardian report pages when entering a report for a guardian that was paper-filed.

• On the Alert Management screen when recording a participant alert issued by a judge.

Regardless of the location where the document is being uploaded, however, the process is always the same.

Document Upload Process

To upload a document, perform the following:

1.	Click the CHOOSE FILE button located within the Document(s) grid on the screen. On some screens, you must first click the Add Document icon above the Document(s) grid to display this button.
2.	A popup screen opens that allows you to browse to any location on your computer where you have a document saved. Only one document can be selected at any given time, but you can repeat this process if you need to upload multiple documents. Only documents saved as a PDF can be uploaded to the GTS. Select the document to upload.
3.	The document is uploaded automatically to GTS. Complete the work on the screen you were using.
