# Adding File Attachments to Jobs

You can upload files to a job to provide operators with extra information, or attach documents that will be sent alongside the invoice when the job is approved for invoicing.

#### **Prepare Your File**

Before uploading, ensure your file meets the requirements:

-   -   -   -   -   File size must be less than 3MB
                -   Common document and image formats are supported
                -   Custom formats (e.g., shape files, custom map files) cannot be uploaded
                -   If the file will be attached to an invoice, the file name must not include numbers or special characters such as #, @, $.
                -   -   -   These characters may be removed by Xero, causing issues with the attachment

  

#### **Open the Job**

-   From the dashboard click into the Job List.

#### **Upload Your File**

-   You can upload files in two ways😀
-   -   -   -   Drag and drop the file into the upload area
            -   Click Upload File and select the file from your computer
-   The upload screen has two sections:
-   -   -   -   Left side: Attachments for operators (visible in the mobile app)
            -   Right side: Attachments for invoices (sent to Xero/MYOB when invoiced)

        -   Make available on mobile (for operator use)
        -   Attach to invoice (if required)
        -   Download the file
        -   Delete the file
