Linking External Documents to Customers and Jobs

10 March 2026 jiffytrade External Docs

External documents can be linked to customers or JiffyTrade documents such as quotes and invoices.

This makes it easier to keep all related paperwork organised.


Why Link Documents?

Linking documents helps you track paperwork related to a job or customer.

For example:

  • A guarantee certificate linked to an invoice
  • An inspection report linked to a quote
  • A compliance certificate linked to a customer

This creates a complete record of work and documentation.


Linking to a Customer

When uploading or editing an external document, you can assign it to a customer.

This allows you to quickly identify which documents belong to each client.

Examples include:

  • Certification issued to a customer
  • Insurance documents related to a job
  • Product guarantees

Linking to a Quote, Estimate, or Invoice

External documents can also be linked directly to a JiffyTrade document.

This helps keep supporting paperwork associated with the job it relates to.

For example:

  • A certificate attached to an invoice
  • An inspection report attached to a quote
  • A warranty attached to a completed job

Viewing Related Documents

When documents are linked correctly, it becomes easier to:

  • Identify documentation related to a job
  • Locate paperwork for a specific customer
  • Maintain complete records for business or compliance purposes

Backups

External documents are included in the JiffyTrade Backup System.

When you create a backup, the following are stored together:

  • Business data
  • Receipts
  • External documents
  • System records

This ensures you can restore your entire document archive if needed.
