Form Attachments

Form attachments are files, photos, and videos that you want to associate only with the specific form they are attached to. They are not visible across other ACC tools. Therefore, only project members with the permission to view a form can view its attachments.

Attachments can be added at:

• The form level in PDF forms
• The form and question level in the forms created in Autodesk Build and to the question level in forms created in Autodesk Build

Attachments are included in exported form reports.

Key Differences Between Form Attachments and References

At the form level, you will see Attachments and References side by side.

• Forms created in Autodesk Build

  

• PDF forms

  

At the question level on forms created in Autodesk Build, you will see an option to add Attachments and adding Photos or Issues will create a reference.

Form references allow you to add and connect ACC project items that are related to a form. References can also be files, photos, or videos. The following table can help you understand the key differences between attachments and references:
