Attachments allow you to add additional information, such as user guides or images, to your task.
There are three types of attachments:
- Files, which get saved directly in the generated work order. For example, you could upload a PDF version of the asset's user guide, or an image of a malfunction.
- Links, which allow you to direct users to information that's already been uploaded to the web. For example, you could link to an instructional video from the asset manufacturer's website.
- Notes, which allow you to add any additional information about the generated work order.
