Attachments

In DropTime, users are able to upload documents and attach them to dispatches. The links to the attachments are shown on the dispatch with the Information tab of the Dispatch Edit Pane on the Schedule. Upon clicking the link, any user with access (who is logged into the system and has appropriate permissions) can download the file. This is considered an Additional Cost Feature, and the feature can be enabled in Company Settings under the "Additional Cost Features" area.
