How To: Upload Documents And Photos As Attachments

A key part of managing communications, relationships, projects, and business in general is managing all the documents and photos these things can generate.

Photos taken at a job site, brochures created in the office, contracts signed by the customer… all these files need to be kept close to a contact and/or job in order to be easily accessible down the road.

In JobNimbus, you can attach any file or photo to your contacts and jobs in just a couple clicks to keep everything in one place.

Uploading and Organizing Your Attachments

Contacts and Jobs both have their own Attachments sections. You can access, view, and upload documents and photos from the Attachments tab when looking at a Contact or Job.

Any type of document can be attached such as Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and PDF documents. Photos and pictures can also be attached such as JPEG’s, PNG’s, and GIF’s.

All files attached in your JobNimbus account are automatically backed up and secured for you, making sure you never have to worry about losing them.

Clicking on the Add Attachment button brings up a dialog where you can choose attachments to upload to JobNimbus.

Clicking the Browse button will allow you to choose files on your computer to upload.

When you click the Browse button, you are prompted to find files on your computer to upload.

The Description field allows you to enter a note about this specific file that can be later searched and provide additional information about the file that is attached.

Once your files are selected, a progress bar will appear showing the progress of the file upload. When they are ready to be saved, you will see a message prompting you that the files are uploaded.
