Files

The Files feature allows you to upload a file against an entity and share files between accounts.  

The file can be left at the entity level for general reference purposes, or attached to a specific account or workpaper later.

You can upload, view and manage the files from different locations in the system:

• On the entity’s Home page > Files tab.
• In the entity’s income tax return calculation > Files tab (in the top menu).
• In the entity’s income tax return calculation > trial balance account page > Files tab.
• In a payment task > Files tab.
• In a return task > Files tab.

On an account page, on the Files tab you can view any files that were attached to the account. You can also upload a file to the entity and attach an uploaded file to the account.

When a file is uploaded against the entity, it is in the Available status. This means the file is sitting in a central holding area and has not yet been attached to a specific account. Once you attach a file to an account, the status of the file changes to Attached. Also, the File button for that account becomes active (blue colour) on the Trial balance page. This is an indicator to other users that there is a file to open, and forms part of the accounts review process.
