In plain English
This means moving a document file off your own device and into a computer system somewhere else. The transfer happens over a network, so the file is sent from one system to another rather than kept only on your device.
In context
Here, "document upload" labels the action of sending claim files from your device to the remote computer system through the portal.
- Situation
- Submitting claims, evidence, estimates, and following claim status
- What it communicates
- labels the step or action for sending claim files through the portal
Meaning limits
The term only names the sending of the file, not any result after that transfer.
Examples
“The document upload from his laptop to the records system was interrupted halfway through.”
“For each claim file, she started a document upload through the portal from her home computer.”
