Viewing Attachments & Associations of a Form

2. Count of attachments, files, forms, aMessages, views, references on the form are displayed in form view as applicable.

3. Single click on either one will open a new popup screen with separate tabs for each of the above options as applicable.

4. Each tab displays a list of records for selected tab i.e. 'Attachments' tab will display a list of all attachments of a form.

Associated records, if any, will be available based on your access only. In case there are additional records (not accessible to you), you will be directed to contact project administrator for information regarding the same.

Selecting a record using checkboxes will enable the download icon which allows you to download the selected attachments.

If placeholders are associated with a form, their 'Doc Ref' is displayed and not 'File Name'.


Click on any record to view it. i.e. clicking on 'Plumbing - East Elevation' in the above screenshot will open that drawing in new browser tab.

If it is an attachment on the form, you will have option to save the file as PDF or print the file from top right side of viewer by clicking on 'More Options' menu icon (if you have required privilege to download or print files on the project). In case there is geotag information available, a separate 'Geotags' column will be available in the listing. If required geotag information is available for selected image attachment, a pin icon will appear clicking on which it displays a 'Google Maps' view with a pin highlighting the location selected by user along-with related geotag information like latitude, longitude and altitude. Additionally, it includes name of user who captured the image with date and time stamp of when it was captured.

If it is a file associated from same or other project, you can view the file depending on your access by clicking on the 'Doc Ref' listed for that particular file.
