Access Attachments

View an Attachment in a Desktop Application

When an Image file is attached, viewing functionality is limited to:

  1. Save and Print
  2. Rotate clockwise and counter-clockwise
  3. Zoom In and Zoom Out

When attaching a PDF document, all functionalities exist, including:

  Description

2 Facing 2-up and 4-up
3 Single page, Single Continuous and Pan
4 First / Last Page and Previous / Next Page
5 Select

When opening a Word or Excel document, a pop-up asks if you would like to launch the file in its default application. Click Yes to proceed.

We do not recommend uploading external applications such as Word or Excel, due to conversion issues when printing.

Link Attachments

Linking an attachment is useful when a desired attachment exists in one area, and also when tying it to another aspect of the project.

Click on an Attachments button, from Inspection History in our example.

With no current attachments tied to this inspection, click on File From Archive Library.

The File From Archive Library button directs you to the Archive Library where all project documentation is stored.
