Attachments
Attachments are files — photos, PDFs, Word documents, spreadsheets, videos — linked to records elsewhere in AMPER Flow. You upload them on the record they belong to (a job, a project, an asset, etc.) and they appear here in the global attachments list as well.
Where attachments come from
Section titled “Where attachments come from”Files can be attached to the following types of records:
- Jobs
- Projects
- Assets
- Materials
- Contracts
- Contract costs
- Installed equipment
- Warranties
You upload files from within each of those records, not from the attachments list itself.
The attachments list
Section titled “The attachments list”Go to Attachments in the navigation to see all files across the entire account.
The list shows the file name, type, which module it came from, upload date, and whether it’s archived.
Filtering
Section titled “Filtering”You can filter by:
- File type — filter by extension (PDF, DOCX, JPG, etc.). Only extensions actually present in the system appear in the dropdown.
- Source module — show only attachments from a specific module (Jobs, Assets, etc.)
- Archived — toggle to show archived files alongside active ones
Searching
Section titled “Searching”The search bar matches on filename.
Viewing a file
Section titled “Viewing a file”Click any attachment to open its detail page. For images, a gallery view shows other images attached to the same record, so you can browse through them without going back to the list.
Downloading a file
Section titled “Downloading a file”From the detail page, use the download button. The file is served from cloud storage and downloaded with its original filename.
Archiving vs deleting
Section titled “Archiving vs deleting”Archive hides a file from the active list but keeps it in storage. The file is no longer shown on the source record either. You can restore an archived file at any time.
Delete permanently removes the file from storage. This cannot be undone.
Both actions are only available to dispatchers.
File types
Section titled “File types”The system automatically detects file type from the extension on upload:
| Type | Common extensions |
|---|---|
| Image | jpg, jpeg, png, gif, webp, svg |
| Document | pdf, doc, docx, xls, xlsx, txt |
| Video | mp4, mov, avi, mkv |
| Audio | mp3, wav, ogg |
| Archive | zip, tar, gz, rar |
| Other | anything else |
Images get a thumbnail generated for use in gallery views.
