An Archibus mobile user can review a record's documents if the document is png, jpeg, pdf, docx, xlsx, or pptx. The mobile user taps the app's Documents button to receive a list of attached documents and then views them on the mobile app.

Additionally, mobile app users can use the camera feature of some Archibus mobile apps to photograph areas and attach the photo to a record. When the user syncs the mobile device, the system uploads these images in the corresponding document fields of the appropriate table, such as uploading a photo of an area that needs repair to the Document field of the Work Requests table.
