Manage Attachments for Assets 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 of that asset type.
