Definition:

An Attach File item is a file upload input type (general category) in LearnCove that allows users to submit one or more supporting files as part of their checklist response (distinguishing feature).

This format is particularly useful for documenting task completion through:

  • Photos (e.g., equipment condition, cleaning results)

  • Reports (e.g., maintenance logs)

  • Scanned forms or certificates

Users can upload images, PDFs, videos, or other supported file formats directly through the checklist interface, ensuring accountability, transparency, and traceability.


Preparation: Before You Begin

Before creating an Attach File item, ensure that:

  • A Checklist Activity has already been created.

  • The creator has access to the Question tab within the activity.

  • The required file types and purpose of the upload (e.g., photo evidence, report submission) are defined.

How to: Create an Attach File Item

  1. Navigate to the Question tab and click the Add button.

  2. From the list of available item types, select Date picker.

  3. Enter your content into the Question Text field. (This field is required.)

  4. Click "Save" to finish creating the question.

Result:

Once saved:

  • The Attach File item will appear in the Checklist activity.

  • A drag-and-drop upload area will be displayed, allowing users to add supporting files.

  • Users can upload PDFs, images, videos, or other allowed file formats as part of their response.

  • Uploaded files will be stored with the activity results, providing verifiable documentation of task completion.

This format ensures that evidence-based submissions are seamlessly integrated into operational workflows.
