How can I share files with my team?
Mobile
In addition to the “Team Files” area, there are 2 other places you can share important files with your team.
Chat
Anytime you are sending a chat message to an individual or a group, you can send a files. There are two live camera options meaning you can take a photo or video and share it immediately. This is done by pressing either the “camera” icon or the “video camera” icon above the message field.
Pressing the “image” icon will launch your default image library where you can select photos or videos previously shot and saved.
The “plus” icon also allows you to navigate to folders containing all of your available images or files for quick and easy sharing.
Choose your file.
Press “Upload Files”
And, Send! The file will display as a link your team members can press/click to display and read.
Dispatch Messages and Events
You can also add files to calendar events and/or team messages sent via dispatches or swimlanes. You can add these to new posts or to an existing one by putting into edit mode.
From the shortcut menu in the lower-right hand corner of your screen, select the action you’d like to take (e.g., “Send a message”, “Add an Event”, etc.).
With the post open and available for creation or editing, you will see the same icons as those available in chat (see above). Press the desired icon and attach your file for sharing.
Add your message and press “Post”.
All members of your team will receive a notification that a new message is available and they will be able to view the file and your message from their News stream.
