Card Focus: Files & Documents

Learn how to use the 'Files' card to attach important documents like user manuals, service records, and purchase receipts to your assets.

While the “Media” card is for photos of your asset, the “Files” card is for attaching any other kind of related document. It’s the perfect place to keep everything you need for an asset in one central, digital location.

What Kind of Files Can I Upload?

You can upload a wide variety of common file types, including:

  • PDFs (.pdf)
  • Word Documents (.doc, .docx)
  • Excel Spreadsheets (.xls, .xlsx)
  • Text files (.txt)
  • Images (.jpg, .png)
  • Compressed folders (.zip)

This makes it ideal for storing:

  • Purchase receipts or invoices
  • User manuals and technical specifications
  • Service records and reports
  • Safety or compliance certificates (e.g., PAT test results)
