Overview
A new section on the Customer Profile, the Attachments section enables you to see a complete aggregation of a customer's attachments across their profile, jobs, estimates, and equipment in a timeline view.
Attachments are organized by date uploaded in descending order, with the most recent attachments at the top. By default, 25 attachments are displayed per page, but you can configure the page to display 50 or 75 attachments on the bottom left.
Functionality
Clicking on a thumbnail image displays an image in a carousel viewer. From this viewer, you can navigate through attachments by clicking the arrow buttons or using your keyboard.
On the top right, you'll see a link to the customer profile, estimate, job, or piece of equipment, depending on where the attachment was originally uploaded. This enables you to easily pull up the relevant attachment details.
You can also rename or download individual images. To rename the file, click 'Edit' on the right panel and then save your changes. The download button is available in the bottom left corner. If you rename your file and then download it, the file will be downloaded with an updated name.
FAQs
How do I access the Customer Attachments section?
You can access the Customer Attachments section by going to a customer's profile and then clicking "Attachments," which will be the rightmost tab on the screen.
What type of attachments are supported?
While all attachment types will be displayed, thumbnail and carousel previews will only be displayed for select attachment types, including most images, videos, and PDFs.
Can customers see all of their attachments?
No, your customers will continue to see only the attachments you share with them via an invoice or an estimate.
Why do I see a "no attachments" message?
This means you haven't uploaded any attachments for this customer across jobs, estimates, equipment, or their profile.
Can I view child attachments on a parent customer's profile?
Not at this time. To view attachments from child customers, you must navigate to the attachments section of the child customer's profile.
Am I able to download attachments in bulk?
Not currently, but this is a functionality we are exploring.
Is this available on mobile?
Not yet, but we are working on building out the equivalent mobile functionality.
