How do I upload documents to my case?

In this article, we will show you how to upload documents to your case.

There are 2 ways of storing documents in your case: in the Case documents tab or in the Documents tab of the corresponding asset.

💡 We recommend using the Case documents tab to store important high level case documents like the death certificate or the will. It means documents are consistently stored and organised and everyone in your company knows exactly where those types of documents are stored in each case

💡 We recommend using the Documents tab within each asset to store key documents pertaining to that asset specifically. This keeps the Case documents tab tidy and users can quickly search for the specific asset they are dealing with to find the relevant documents they need
