  5. The Access Key Secret will be displayed in a pop-up. Click the clipboard icon to copy the key and paste it into My Workpapers, or a secure location, for example, a vault.

    Important: You will only be able to view the Secret Key the first time this window is displayed. If the key is required again, you will need to disconnect the integration, request a new key, and reconnect your integration.

  6. Click Done once you have saved the Secret Key to a secure location.

  7. The Access Key ID will be displayed. Click the Clipboard icon to copy and paste the information to My Workpapers or a secure location.

Note: For this integration, the AutoFile defaults in FYI may be disregarded.

Step 2 - Adding the FYI Access Key ID and Access Key Secret into My Workpapers

Once you have obtained your details from FYI, you can add them to My Workpapers to connect the two systems.

  1. From My Workpapers, click the Spanner icon.

Using the Integration

Once you have connected FYI with My Workpapers, you can search for documents to import based on the Client Name, Cabinet and/or Year. Documents can be bulk imported to the same folder, or if required, separate folders selected during the import process.

For detailed step-by-step instructions, refer to the My Workpapers article Upload documents from FYI Docs.

Note: Documents in FYI do not have a live connection to documents within the My Workpapers app. When documents are imported from FYI to My Workpapers it is a static copy of the document. If a document is opened from My Workpapers and edited, the changes will not be reflected in FYI.
