# File Attachments

# **Read more about how to upload files to a request, including what file size and types are allowed.**

## **Who can add file attachments to a request? **

Any staff (excluding those with only QA role) and group members who have ***Can Make Service Requests*** set to ***Yes*** can upload file attachments to a request. 

## **How do I add a file attachment to a request?**

If you have already previously uploaded the file attachment: select it from the drop down and select ***Save Changes***. 

If this is a new file attachment: select ***Create New***.

Fill in the name of the file attachment, choose the file, and select ***Save Changes***.

Your new file attachment will be selected in the request and you can then ***Save Changes***. 

## **Can I reuse a file attachment for another request? **

Yes - file attachments are saved to the group member profile, so the file attachment is accessible and usable in any request for that group member. 

## **Can I update a file attachment?**

Yes - head to ***Requests > File Attachments*** and select the pencil (edit) icon next to the file attachments you'd like to update. Upload your new file and select ***Save Changes***.

Updating a file attachment will update it for all requests that file was attached to. If you want to keep the old file attachment on older requests, it is recommended to add a new file attachment and attach the new one to any future requests. If you no longer want the old file attachment to show up in the drop down you can make it inactive from the Status tab. 

## **What file types are supported? **

All of them.

## **Is there a file size limit? **

Yes - files up to 24MB can be uploaded to Usked.

1. Right click on your file

3. Size will be displayed below ***Location***
