If you want to add a photo, document or file to your records you can use the Uploads section within the record. You can upload multiple files to your records and they will be stored against the record's history and can be viewed and/or downloaded by other users with the correct permission settings.

If you have no uploads on the record, scroll down and click Show all fields at the base of the window. The Uploads field will now be visible.

Click the + icon. This will take you to your default location for images/files. You can now select the file you want to be uploaded.

Once you have selected Open you will be returned to the record and your image/file should now be shown.

If you want to add another upload to the record you can do so by selecting the + and carrying out the same actions.

To view an uploaded file, click on the icon and a preview will be shown. Click on the Download button or on the down arrow icon in the preview box.
