Attaching documents to your cards

AccountRight 2018.4 and later, online company files only

If your company file is online, you can attach documents to your contact cards. This means you can add customer or supplier contracts, employee agreements and other documents to your cards. You can then easily find documents associated with a contact by simply viewing their card.

You can attach PDF, TIFF, JPEG or PNG file types, and the files must be less than 10MB in size.
