Use this guide to discover best practices in sharing files, restricting file visibility, and moving files from customer records to job records.
Sharing Files
From File
To share a file, begin by clicking on a file. You can now select Email to Customer to send this file, or press Download to download the file onto your device.
From Customer Communication
To include a file on a customer communication, begin by selecting Actions on the related record, then click Send Customer Communication.
Select the template you'd like to use, or use an empty form.
Click on Attached Files to attach files stored in FieldPulse. Click on Additional Files to upload files from your device.
From Estimate or Invoice
On an estimate or invoice record, select Preview.
Once previewing the record, click Email to Customer.
Once here, you can select visible files, email attachments, and upload additional files.
Visible Files: Files stored in FieldPulse will be displayed on the dynamic estimate or invoice
Email Attachments: Files stored in FieldPulse will be attached to the email
Upload Additional Files: Files from your device will be displayed on the dynamic estimate or invoice
File Visibility
To restrict file visibility, begin by clicking on a file, then select Edit. You can now toggle on or off Can Service Agent See File? Be sure to press Save after making changes.
Moving Files
You can easily move files from a customer record to a job record on the FieldPulse web app. Begin by navigating to the customer record and selecting Files. Click Move Files to FieldPulse Record, then select the files you'd like to move.
Click in the search box and select the job record where you'd like to transfer the files. (Note: Only jobs linked to this customer will appear.)
You can then select to Duplicate & Transfer Files or Move Files Only.
Duplicate & Transfer Files
This option duplicates the files from the primary record and transfers them to the selected record without creating linked duplicates. (Note: When duplicating and transferring files from a customer record to a job record, duplicates of these files will appear on your customer files tab. This is because FieldPulse displays all files associated with related jobs in this tab.)
Move Files Only
This option removes the files from the primary record and transitions them to the selected record without duplication. (Note: When moving files from a customer record to a job record, the files will still appear in the customer record. This is because FieldPulse displays all files uploaded to related jobs on the customer files tab.)
Our recommendation is to select Move Files Only, given that any files on job records will appear on the linked customer's record.
