Cool Life Vault Room Features
FAST • INTUITIVE • SECURE
Virtual Data Room Features Built Around Your Objectives
One Platform. Complete Control.
We listen to your objectives, understand the process you need to improve, and provide an intuitive solution that keeps your organization in control.
Your administrator controls the Vault Room structure, documents, participants, permissions, notifications, reporting, and activity history.
We Listen
Begin With Your Objectives
Every confidential-document process is different.
You may be preparing for due diligence, responding to an audit, sharing board materials, working with lenders, supporting a transaction, or exchanging sensitive information with clients, investors, attorneys, and other authorized participants.
Cool Life provides the tools and an intuitive solution. Your organization controls the process.
We Begin by Understanding
- What documents need to be protected
- Who needs access
- What different participants should be allowed to see
- Whether users may view, print, or download documents
- What documents are still required
- What activity administrators need to review
- What reporting must be maintained
- Whether NDAs, participants, prospects, and transaction workflow should be connected
The Problem
Moving the Documents Does Not Automatically Create Control
Email attachments, shared drives, and general file-sharing links can move files, but they often separate the documents from the permissions, participants, and business process surrounding them.
The problem is not simply where documents are stored. The problem is maintaining control, accountability, and visibility throughout the process.
Questions Administrators Need Answered
- Who received access?
- Did a participant see more information than necessary?
- Was the correct version made available?
- Who viewed or downloaded a document?
- Which requested documents are still missing?
- Has an NDA been completed?
- What follow-up is required?
- Should access have been removed?
- Is there a reliable record after the project ends?
Your Control
Give the Right People the Right Information Under the Right Controls
Cool Life Vault Rooms give authorized administrators the tools to create rooms, establish folder structures, upload documents, invite participants, apply permissions, manage notifications, and review activity.
Cool Life does not control the client’s documents or determine who should receive access. Your authorized administrators determine how the confidential-document process works.
Your Administrator Determines
- How rooms and folders are structured
- Which documents are uploaded
- Which users and groups receive access
- What participants may view, print, or download
- When notifications are sent
- Which reporting templates are used
- When permissions should change
- When access should be removed
- How the completed process is archived
The Outcome
Success Is More Than Uploading Documents
A successful Vault Room process improves control, accountability, visibility, and the participant experience throughout the confidential-document process.
The result is a clearer process for administrators and participants, with less uncertainty about access, outstanding information, document activity, and required follow-up.
A Successful Vault Room Process Can Provide
- Fewer confidential attachments traveling through email
- Less uncertainty about who has access
- Faster identification of missing information
- A clearer experience for participants
- Better visibility into document activity
- More accountable follow-up
- An organized history for future review
- A controlled transition into the next transaction stage
Vault Room Capabilities
Features That Address the Problem
Open each group to review the problem, the available controls, and the intended outcome.
The problem: Different participants require different information, but general shared folders may grant access too broadly.
Administrator-controlled features:
- User and group permissions
- Room-level access
- Folder-level access
- Individual file controls
- View, print, and download permissions
- Controlled invitations
- Access changes and removal
- Multi-factor authentication options

The problem: Documents become difficult to manage when they are spread across inboxes, disconnected links, and inconsistent folders.
Administrator-controlled features:
- Custom rooms and folder structures
- Individual and batch uploads
- Large-file support
- File movement and organization
- Browser-based document viewing
- Controlled downloading
- File notifications

Administrator-controlled features:
- Dynamic watermarking
- View-only access where appropriate
- Printing restrictions
- Download restrictions
- User-identifying document treatment
- Permission changes
- Access removal
The outcome: Sensitive documents remain connected to visible controls and participant accountability.

Available features:

- Missing-file reporting
- File-status visibility
- Upload tracking
- Participant notifications
- Encrypted-file reporting
- Reporting templates
The outcome: Administrators can identify outstanding information and direct follow-up where it is needed.

Available features:
- User-access history
- Document-view history
- Download visibility
- Access timestamps
- Document timestamps
- Activity reports
- Audit history
- Supported report exports
The outcome: Administrators gain better visibility into participation, document engagement, and areas that may require follow-up.

Available features:
- Participant invitations
- Room communications
- New-file notifications
- Daily or weekly notification options
- Administrative messages
- User and group management
The outcome: Participants receive appropriate notice while protected documents remain within the Vault Room.

Available features:
- NDA acknowledgment
- Digital agreement processes
- Participant qualification information
- Access approval steps
- DocuSign-supported workflows when preferred
- Supported filing of completed agreements
The outcome: Administrators maintain a clearer connection between agreement status and access decisions.
Add the Deal Platform
Automate the Process Around the Vault Room
A Vault Room can operate independently as a secure document environment.
When broader transaction management is required, the Cool Life Deal Platform can be added to manage participants, prospects, NDA status, workflow, responsibilities, follow-up, reporting, and activity before, during, and after the transaction.
The Deal Platform Can Manage
- Transaction participants and prospects
- Companies and primary contacts
- Buy-side and sell-side opportunities
- NDA status
- Automated NDA reminders
- Vault Room access status
- Transaction stages
- Workflow and responsibilities
- Notes and action items
- Participant follow-up
- Reporting and dashboards
- Activity before, during, and after the transaction
Selected Engagement Information Can Include
- Whether Vault Room access has been granted
- The participant’s most recent access
- Total files viewed
- Participant engagement status
- Follow-up or action items requiring attention
An authorized administrator can establish Vault Room access for a transaction participant directly from the Deal Platform.
Protected Documents Remain Inside the Vault Room
This information supports actionable activities, workflow, and automation. It can help the transaction team identify when a participant has not entered the Vault Room, when document review has begun, or when follow-up may be appropriate.
Protected file contents remain inside the controlled Vault Room environment. The Deal Platform receives the limited access and engagement information needed to manage the transaction, but it does not open, read, or expose protected documents.
