# Documentation for residential low-voltage and smart-home installers

> For a residential low-voltage or smart-home installer, Cablefolio is the record of every home: the closet rack, each run and wall jack, the cameras and access points, and the door, gate, lockbox, and alarm codes, sealed per property.

## Sound familiar?

- Door, lockbox, and alarm codes for a dozen homes in a plain-text spreadsheet
- A service call that starts by working out which jack is which
- Labels in your words that the homeowner does not understand
- Clients with several properties, each wired differently

## Codes sealed, per property

Each property has its own sealed **Access codes** — door, gate, lockbox, and alarm — stored encrypted and revealed only by an owner or admin, with every reveal recorded. Parking, how to get in, and opening hours sit beside them as plain access notes, so a technician arrives knowing what to do.

## Every run and jack, in the homeowner’s words

Record each run from the closet panel to the room it serves, with a label that says what it is in words the homeowner uses — “Living room TV”, “Office desk” — and print matching QR labels and wire flags. Place cameras, access points, and keypads on the floor plan, room by room.

## Hand the home over

Finish with a checklist the homeowner signs on your phone, and a report of the whole install — the rack, the runs, the Wi-Fi networks, the photos. Give them a portal sign-in to read it whenever they need it; it never takes a seat.

## Questions and answers

### How does Cablefolio store gate and alarm codes?

Each property’s access codes are sealed with AES-256-GCM and shown only when an owner or admin reveals them; every reveal is written to the audit log, and the codes never appear in reports, exports, search, or the offline copy.

### Can a homeowner see their own documentation?

Yes, on the Pro and Business plans. A client portal sign-in shows the homeowner their own properties, what is installed, checklists, photos, and reports, read-only, and never takes a seat.
