Adding files

Summary

You can add files (PDFs, documents, spreadsheets, etc.) to your Stock, Vehicles, Sales and Purchase accounts and more in Platinum.

More Information

You can attach many types of file to various records in your system.

Files are backed up when you back up your data - excessively large files may slow down your back up procedure or fill your back up media.
