# File Management

> Send files to customers from any record, estimate, or invoice, and set which team members can view each one.

# Overview

You can share files from FieldPulse straight from a record, a customer communication, or right inside an estimate or invoice. Pick the file, choose how to send it, and it's in your customer's hands in a few clicks. Behind the scenes, you decide who on your team can see what.

## Sharing Files

There are three ways to share files with a customer. Pick the one that fits the job.

## From File

To share a file, begin by clicking on a file. You can now select *Email to Customer* to send this file, or press *Download* to download the file onto your device.

## From Customer Communication

To include a file on a customer communication, begin by selecting *Actions* on the related record, then click *Send Customer Communication*.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/fieldpulse/Np05e0O_s4K33B-G/static/images/_api/9735754-file-management/02.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=Np05e0O_s4K33B-G&q=85&s=6670e5fb37b3debe5c1b291d3bb14a2a" alt="Click on Send Customer Communication" width="1200" height="403" data-path="static/images/_api/9735754-file-management/02.png" />

Select the template you'd like to use, or use an empty form.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/fieldpulse/Np05e0O_s4K33B-G/static/images/_api/9735754-file-management/03.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=Np05e0O_s4K33B-G&q=85&s=3f5fedd9f49cdf98edf56d984cabf3e4" alt="Click on Empty Form (No Template)" width="1200" height="408" data-path="static/images/_api/9735754-file-management/03.png" />

Click on *Attached Files* to attach files stored in FieldPulse. Click on *Additional Files* to upload files from your device.

## From Estimate or Invoice

On an estimate or invoice record, select *Preview*.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/fieldpulse/Np05e0O_s4K33B-G/static/images/_api/9735754-file-management/05.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=Np05e0O_s4K33B-G&q=85&s=57360499590f6172d68ef143aabc59a5" alt="Click on Preview" width="1200" height="422" data-path="static/images/_api/9735754-file-management/05.png" />

Once previewing the record, click *Email to Customer*.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/fieldpulse/Np05e0O_s4K33B-G/static/images/_api/9735754-file-management/06.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=Np05e0O_s4K33B-G&q=85&s=3f37a51fc49ae54008bcd139e0e69f81" alt="Click on Email To Customer" width="1200" height="620" data-path="static/images/_api/9735754-file-management/06.png" />

Once here, you can select visible files, email attachments, and upload additional files.

* *Visible Files:* Files stored in FieldPulse will be displayed on the dynamic estimate or invoice

* *Email Attachments*: Files stored in FieldPulse will be attached to the email

* *Upload Additional Files:* Files from your device will be displayed on the dynamic estimate or invoice

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/fieldpulse/Np05e0O_s4K33B-G/static/images/_api/9735754-file-management/07.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=Np05e0O_s4K33B-G&q=85&s=5e59ea5efd8d5879bfafa28fb53d63fa" alt="Click on Visible Files…" width="1200" height="755" data-path="static/images/_api/9735754-file-management/07.png" />

## File Visibility

To restrict file visibility, begin by clicking on a file, then select *Edit*. You can toggle on or off *Can Service Agent See File?* as well as *Can Team Manager See File?* Be sure to press *Save* after making changes.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/fieldpulse/Np05e0O_s4K33B-G/static/images/_api/9735754-file-management/08.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=Np05e0O_s4K33B-G&q=85&s=779966721dcbac822f12460d427f798d" alt="Untitled step" width="1200" height="686" data-path="static/images/_api/9735754-file-management/08.png" />

## Moving Files

You can easily move files from a customer record to a job record on the FieldPulse web app. Begin by navigating to the customer record and selecting *Files*. Click *Move Files to FieldPulse Record*, then select the files you'd like to move.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/fieldpulse/Np05e0O_s4K33B-G/static/images/_api/9735754-file-management/09.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=Np05e0O_s4K33B-G&q=85&s=985c101ed0a0468d929598e28b82dbe9" alt="Click on highlight" width="1200" height="455" data-path="static/images/_api/9735754-file-management/09.png" />

Click in the search box and select the job record where you'd like to transfer the files. *(**Note:** Only jobs linked to this customer will appear.)*

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/fieldpulse/Np05e0O_s4K33B-G/static/images/_api/9735754-file-management/10.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=Np05e0O_s4K33B-G&q=85&s=621bec4af5231f386c80e702026f3d52" alt="Click on Test Job" width="1200" height="440" data-path="static/images/_api/9735754-file-management/10.png" />

You can then select to *Duplicate & Transfer Files* or *Move Files Only*.

### **Duplicate & Transfer Files**

This option duplicates the files from the primary record and transfers them to the selected record without creating linked duplicates. (**Note:** When duplicating and transferring files from a customer record to a job record, duplicates of these files will appear on your customer files tab. This is because FieldPulse displays all files associated with related jobs in this tab.)

#### **Move Files Only**

This option removes the files from the primary record and transitions them to the selected record without duplication. (**Note:** When moving files from a customer record to a job record, the files will still appear in the customer record. This is because FieldPulse displays all files uploaded to related jobs on the customer files tab.)

Our recommendation is to select *Move Files Only*, given that any files on job records will appear on the linked customer's record.

# On Mobile: Field Experience

## Creating File Folders

To create a file folder on the mobile app, navigate to the *Files* tab on any record and tap the *Create Folder* button.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/fieldpulse/XG4ZrAS1WUuadKzB/static/images/_api/9735754-file-management/11.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=XG4ZrAS1WUuadKzB&q=85&s=de87e2686433b67ea9c3a457c8a98c77" alt="Selecting Job and Site Visit statuses that trigger clock-in prompts" width="588" height="784" data-path="static/images/_api/9735754-file-management/11.png" />

You will be taken to the folder creation screen. Enter a name for your folder in the *File Name* field. This field is required before you can save.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/fieldpulse/XG4ZrAS1WUuadKzB/static/images/_api/9735754-file-management/12.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=XG4ZrAS1WUuadKzB&q=85&s=10483742fdb8ce9a4d34be7e712405a7" alt="Files tab on a record with the Create Folder button on mobile" width="587" height="231" data-path="static/images/_api/9735754-file-management/12.png" />

Next, tap the *Type* field to open the selection menu. Choose the type of content this folder will hold:

* *Without a file* (creates an empty placeholder folder)

* *Image*

* *Document*

* *Video*

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/fieldpulse/XG4ZrAS1WUuadKzB/static/images/_api/9735754-file-management/13.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=XG4ZrAS1WUuadKzB&q=85&s=48565e0f3e6fcbd39cb8a058e3dddebc" alt="Folder creation screen with the File Name field on mobile" width="584" height="290" data-path="static/images/_api/9735754-file-management/13.png" />

Once you've entered a name and selected a type, tap *Save* to create the folder. To cancel without saving, tap *Exit*. Your new folder will now appear in the *Files* tab.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/fieldpulse/XG4ZrAS1WUuadKzB/static/images/_api/9735754-file-management/14.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=XG4ZrAS1WUuadKzB&q=85&s=4a3778a80c2d536c9bbc236e3554ec93" alt="Folder Type selection menu with Image, Document, and Video options" width="588" height="203" data-path="static/images/_api/9735754-file-management/14.png" />

# What Your Customer Sees

Files you share land in a few different places depending on the path you take:

* Files emailed from a single file open as a standard email attachment.

* Files attached through *Send Customer Communication* arrive in line with the template you chose.

* *Visible Files* appear inside the dynamic *Estimate* or *Invoice* when the customer opens the link.

* *Email Attachments* attach to the email that delivers the *Estimate* or *Invoice*.

Heads up: customers only see files you explicitly share. Files uploaded to a record stay internal by default.
