# Overview

You can share files from FieldPulse straight from a record, a customer communication, or right inside an estimate or invoice. Pick the file, choose how to send it, and it's in your customer's hands in a few clicks. Behind the scenes, you decide who on your team can see what.

## Sharing Files

There are three ways to share files with a customer. Pick the one that fits the job.

## 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.

Once previewing the record, click *Email to Customer*.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/fieldpulse/Np05e0O_s4K33B-G/static/images/_api/9735754-file-management/06.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=Np05e0O_s4K33B-G&q=85&s=3f37a51fc49ae54008bcd139e0e69f81" alt="Click on Email To Customer" width="1200" height="620" data-path="static/images/_api/9735754-file-management/06.png" />

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

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/fieldpulse/Np05e0O_s4K33B-G/static/images/_api/9735754-file-management/07.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=Np05e0O_s4K33B-G&q=85&s=5e59ea5efd8d5879bfafa28fb53d63fa" alt="Click on Visible Files…" width="1200" height="755" data-path="static/images/_api/9735754-file-management/07.png" />

## File Visibility

To restrict file visibility, begin by clicking on a file, then select *Edit*. You can toggle on or off *Can Service Agent See File?* as well as *Can Team Manager See File?* Be sure to press *Save* after making changes.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/fieldpulse/Np05e0O_s4K33B-G/static/images/_api/9735754-file-management/08.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=Np05e0O_s4K33B-G&q=85&s=779966721dcbac822f12460d427f798d" alt="Untitled step" width="1200" height="686" data-path="static/images/_api/9735754-file-management/08.png" />

## 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.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/fieldpulse/Np05e0O_s4K33B-G/static/images/_api/9735754-file-management/09.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=Np05e0O_s4K33B-G&q=85&s=985c101ed0a0468d929598e28b82dbe9" alt="Click on highlight" width="1200" height="455" data-path="static/images/_api/9735754-file-management/09.png" />

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.)*

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/fieldpulse/Np05e0O_s4K33B-G/static/images/_api/9735754-file-management/10.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=Np05e0O_s4K33B-G&q=85&s=621bec4af5231f386c80e702026f3d52" alt="Click on Test Job" width="1200" height="440" data-path="static/images/_api/9735754-file-management/10.png" />

You can then select to *Duplicate & Transfer Files* or *Move Files Only*.

**Could not display content**

#### **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.

# On Mobile: Field Experience

## Creating File Folders

To create a file folder on the mobile app, navigate to the *Files* tab on any record and tap the *Create Folder* button.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/fieldpulse/XG4ZrAS1WUuadKzB/static/images/_api/9735754-file-management/11.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=XG4ZrAS1WUuadKzB&q=85&s=de87e2686433b67ea9c3a457c8a98c77" alt="" width="588" height="784" data-path="static/images/_api/9735754-file-management/11.png" />

You will be taken to the folder creation screen. Enter a name for your folder in the *File Name* field. This field is required before you can save.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/fieldpulse/XG4ZrAS1WUuadKzB/static/images/_api/9735754-file-management/12.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=XG4ZrAS1WUuadKzB&q=85&s=10483742fdb8ce9a4d34be7e712405a7" alt="" width="587" height="231" data-path="static/images/_api/9735754-file-management/12.png" />

Next, tap the *Type* field to open the selection menu. Choose the type of content this folder will hold:

* *Without a file* (creates an empty placeholder folder)

* *Image*

* *Document*

* *Video*

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/fieldpulse/XG4ZrAS1WUuadKzB/static/images/_api/9735754-file-management/13.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=XG4ZrAS1WUuadKzB&q=85&s=48565e0f3e6fcbd39cb8a058e3dddebc" alt="" width="584" height="290" data-path="static/images/_api/9735754-file-management/13.png" />

Once you've entered a name and selected a type, tap *Save* to create the folder. To cancel without saving, tap *Exit*. Your new folder will now appear in the *Files* tab.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/fieldpulse/XG4ZrAS1WUuadKzB/static/images/_api/9735754-file-management/14.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=XG4ZrAS1WUuadKzB&q=85&s=4a3778a80c2d536c9bbc236e3554ec93" alt="" width="588" height="203" data-path="static/images/_api/9735754-file-management/14.png" />

# What Your Customer Sees

Files you share land in a few different places depending on the path you take:

* Files emailed from a single file open as a standard email attachment.

* Files attached through *Send Customer Communication* arrive in line with the template you chose.

* *Visible Files* appear inside the dynamic *Estimate* or *Invoice* when the customer opens the link.

* *Email Attachments* attach to the email that delivers the *Estimate* or *Invoice*.

Heads up: customers only see files you explicitly share. Files uploaded to a record stay internal by default.
