The Document functionality is made up of two tools: Document Control and Related Documents. These tools allow users to attach documents (spreadsheets, blueprints, diagrams, movies, images, etc.) to individual records with Lucity. For example, users may want to attach a copy of an email in a customer record or they may attach a digital picture to an inspection record.
Note: By attaching a document to a record, users are merely creating a link to the file the document is stored in. If the document is deleted from the original file, the link from the record will be inoperative.
Click on the module toolbar to open the Document Control window.
Click to open the Add Document window.
For links to web pages, click the "Web Page" checkbox. The File Path field will be enabled allowing you to type the web address. The File Type will then default to "Internet Shortcut".
For all document types, click to search for the document to attach. Select the document and then click to add that document to the current record. The Add Document window will reappear with the file name at the top.
Write a brief description of the document or web link before saving it to the record (see figure below).
Note: Each description must be unique or the user will be prompted to type a new one.
Click . The Document Control window will reappear with the new document listed in the window.
