Documents

Account Documents serve as a way to store and organize supporting files directly related to a specific account. This feature allows users to upload and associate documents such as PDFs, images, manuals, permits, inspection reports, and more, with the account they’re managing.

The functionality works similarly to attaching a file to an email. Users can drag and drop files or browse to upload them, and optionally include hyperlinks or additional notes. Once uploaded, the documents are stored in the system and remain accessible to users. This ensures all relevant documentation is centralized and easy to retrieve during any review or audits.

  • Display: Upload manuals, photos, reports, etc. to an account record

  • Public: Indicates whether a document is visible outside the organization

Note:

While there is no limit on the storage for uploads, keep in mind the downloading speed of large files in the field. Select files may not be able to be opened depending on the file type, such as a CAD (Computer-Aided Design) file on a computer without a CAD reader.
