Sending attachment link to a resident
PublicStuff Pro users can attach a link to a PDF or other document for residents to view and download. Â
- Open a Request Details page within PublicStuff Pro.
- On the right side of the screen, you will see a 'Add File' box. Click on the box, which will prompt you to upload a file. Add the PDF file you would like to share with the resident.
- Click Save. You must complete this step, otherwise the attachment will not be saved to the request.
- Click on the 'Comments' tab
- Click on the Link Attachment button
- Click on the document that you would like to share as a link
- To provide more context to the resident, add a message within the comments field before clicking the 'Submit' button.
- Also, most importantly, if this document contains private information, make this service request private (which you can do in the drop-down options menus)
- Once you click submit, the resident will receive an email about a new comment on the request, and it will contain the link to the file.
Residents cannot send files links back to the municipality at this time.
