Set up data sharing

Through Onvio data sharing, you can share general client information among Onvio and CS Professional Suite applications that your firm has licensed (such as UltraTax CS, Accounting CS, and Practice CS). General client information includes a client's name, address, phone number, TIN, SSN, and so on.

We recommend that you populate clients from UltraTax CS into Onvio before completing these steps.

Follow these steps to enable data sharing.

  1. Enable data sharing and see what information is shared in each applicable CS Professional Suite application.
  2. If you haven't already installed Onvio Link, do so now.
  3. Click the Onvio Link Onvio Link button button in your system tray or menu bar to open Onvio Link.
  4. Click the Settings button in the Onvio Link toolbar and verify that the Onvio data location is correct for your firm. The default location is c:\wincsi\OnvioData.
  5. Verify that the data location matches the data location settings in UltraTax CS, Accounting CS, and/or Practice CS.
  6. Mark the Enable Data Sharing box and click OK. Choose the CS Professional Suite application below to see what information data shares with Onvio.
    • Accounting CS

Changes that you make to general client information in any CS Professional Suite application for which data sharing is enabled will now show up in Onvio. Also, any changes that you make to general client information in Onvio will be similarly reflected for the same client (matched by TIN or SSN) in any CS Professional application for which data sharing with Onvio is enabled.
