Attachment
The Attachment field lets users upload and store files directly in a record — including images, PDFs, spreadsheets, documents, and more.
For instructions on how to access field types or how to add one, see Field Types.
Capabilities
- Upload one or more files of any type to a record, including images, PDFs, and documents
- Preview image files as thumbnails directly in the table
- Download or delete individual files from a record
- Restrict the field to a single file upload per record
How to use
Step 1 — Open a record and click the Attachment field.
Step 2 — Select one or more files from your device to upload.
Step 3 — Uploaded files appear as thumbnails (for images) or file icons, and can be downloaded or deleted individually.
Field options
Image size — Controls the display size of image previews within the record. Options compress images for better performance without affecting the original file.
Only allow 1 file upload — Restricts the field to a single file per record. When enabled, uploading a new file replaces the existing one.
Tooltip — Adds a helper text visible when hovering over the field name.
Required field — Makes the field mandatory before a record can be saved.
Keep in mind
- The Attachment field stores files but does not parse or extract their content. You cannot filter, search, or use field values based on what is written inside an uploaded file.
- Changing the Image size setting affects only how images are displayed in the interface — it does not change the resolution or size of the original uploaded file.
