Attachments can be any document or image file whose size is not more than 18MB. The files can be attached to - jobs, quotes and assets from both the Loc8 web browser and the Loc8 Mobile app.

In the Loc8 browser app, you can attach them directly to the job inspector, quote inspector or asset inspector.

If you're including attachments in emails in order to share files or documents with the recipient, you will find the attachments in the associated job inspector, quote inspector or asset inspector under the Files tab.

When using the Loc8 Mobile app, you can attach them to your jobs as you go. All the attachments will automatically appear in the associated job inspector, quote inspector or asset inspector under the Files tab.

All the attachments that are available within a job, quote or asset can be grouped and categorised using Tags.

Tags associated with the attachments will assist you in finding and cataloguing information with respect to jobs, quotes and assets. For more information, see Tagging the attachments.

On the inspector, click the More Options icon and select Upload attachment from the dropdown.

In the Attachment window, click and browse through the files you want to associate with the job. Then click UPLOAD.
