How to Manage Uploaded Files

You can deactivate files in your File Library, allowing you to better maintain your library by hiding any unwanted files. Deactivating a file will remove it from all attachment panels in TheWorxHub where it is used, such as the work order, asset, or staff forms. It will also no longer appear in the attachment pop-up window when attaching a file to a work order, asset, etc. *Note: To deactivate a file, you will need the "Can deactivate files" permission.

  1. Click on the file you would like to replace from the list. The File Details panel will expand.
  2. Click on the menu icon ( ) at the top of the panel.
