How-to on how to utilize the attachment feature in thee TradeTrax platform
What are Attachments?
Attachments provide additional context about the Task. Both Regular and Installer users can upload Attachments to a Task.
Attachments can include Photos (JPEG and PNG files), and PDF files
Why are Attachments helpful?
Attachments enable a second form of communication on the job site to help answer any questions.
This provides a space where images directly from the job site can be shared with the office or vice versa.
Attachments help Installers identify an object on the job site before starting their Task.
Some Attachments can include, before and after photos of Tasks, PDF plans for the Job, and options selected by the Homeowner.
