Frequently Asked Questions
How am I notified when a client sends a message through the Client Portal?
Are messages sent through the Client Portal the same as standard SMS text messages in Filevine?
No, messages sent and received within the Client Portal are distinct from Filevine's standard SMS texting feature.
Client Portal messages are contained securely within the portal environment. While you can use SMS to invite a client to the portal or notify them of a new portal message or update, the actual conversation happens inside the portal, not via standard SMS threads.
The standard Filevine SMS feature remains available as a separate communication option.
Can I invite non-clients (like medical providers, experts, or co-counsel) to the Client Portal? What can they see?
Yes. You can invite non-clients—including medical providers, experts, or co-counsel—to the Client Portal. Regardless of contact type, individuals only see the messages, documents, and forms that the firm has shared with them or that they’ve personally submitted. There is no content sharing between different portal users.
How does the case timeline shown in the Client Portal relate to the project phases we use internally in Filevine?
You have complete control over the case timeline shown to clients. In the Client Portal Manager, you choose which internal Filevine project phases map to specific, client-facing steps.
You can customize the names of these steps and decide which internal phases are relevant to display, ensuring clients see a clear and curated view of their case progress. Not all internal phases need to be mapped to a client-visible step.
How much does the Filevine Client Portal cost?
The Client Portal is included as a core feature of the Filevine platform at no additional cost. It's part of our commitment to providing comprehensive solutions that enhance client communication and firm efficiency.
