Linking an attachment to a task
Roles and permissions
The following roles can link an attachment to a task:
Administrators
Compliance managers who are members of the task
Users who are members of the task
Limited access users can view attachments, but cannot link or remove attachments.
Many organizations use attachments to provide additional instructions for the task or an example of the type proof that should be linked to the task.
There are no versioning or LiveSync capabilities for attachments—attachments with the same name replace the originals, even if they stem from existing proof. All attachments that stem from existing proof have a link to the original proof, where the latest version can be found.
Tip
While in the Activity Feed, if a user clicks a link for a file that has since been duplicated, the user is alerted with the link for the new file.
Note
If a task is integrated with another system, such as Jira or Asana, attachments can't be viewed from the corresponding task in the third-party system. Attachments can only be accessed by opening the Hyperproof task.
