Manage Asset Type Attachments in the Project Assets Tool

Background

Attachments allow you to store essential documents such as owner and maintenance manuals, warranty certificates, drawings, specifications, and photos directly within an asset record, ensuring teams have consistent access to the right information throughout the asset’s lifecycle while improving efficiency, collaboration, and compliance.

You can add attachments to individual assets, or to all assets with that asset type.

Things to Consider

  • Required User Permissions

    • Users with the granular permissions must access asset attachments from the asset's details page.

  • Adding Attachments

    • You can add attachments from your computer or the project's Documents, Drawings, or Photos tools.

    • Adding an attachment to an Attachment Type automatically adds it to all assets with that type.

  • Deleting Attachments

    • Attachments added to an Asset Type in the Project level Assets tool cannot be deleted from an individual Asset.

    • Deleting an asset from an asset type removes it from all associated assets.

  • Viewing Attachments

    • Supported file types open in a viewer in a new tab. If preview is not supported, the file is downloaded automatically.

    • Attachments added from other Procore tools will always show the most recent version.
