Dear community, We use attachments to store relevant deal info (signed docs etc.) I can’t figure out a way to see those attachments outside of the “right panel view”, I was trying to get a card with attachment in the “view record page” Anyone has a solution for that ? Thanks++ ---

Hi @MDubuc , I’m happy to add my two cents here. Unfortunately, there isn’t a great way of visualising the attachments outside of the right hand column in records. I did a bit of digging and there is a property that exists which gives you an attached file ID. However, unless you have a method of translating the file ID into something more tangible, I’m not really sure what it could be used for. Perhaps, you could use the unique file ID to trigger a workflow that would populate another property with a certain value or with a specific naming convention and that way, you could at least use this as a data source in a report. As it stands, with only the attached file ID, you’d be left with a report like this one: ![Attached file ID.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/f/5/f5764c65750cf0a89f3deab61a3da644a7b4106f.png) The other option, which might make things a little easier for you going forward, would be to use the [Documents tool](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/documents/use-documents) which offers a little more flexibility, but it all depends on what you’re looking to do. I hope this helps! ---

Thank you so no good solution 😞 I guess I will use Notes attachments as a workaround but sad that the product team did not thing of a simple Card we can add on the deal record page, does not seem very complex and we like to keep our deal supporting files in one place. ---

Thanks for sharing Brian! I have searched high and low for the ‘Attached File ID’ field on Contact, Company and Deal objects to no avail. Can you share where/how you pulled this information? ---

Hey @MDubuc so for the moment there is no native way of doing this. With custom card you can create a card in the right column that can display the document. But if you have a lot of documents maybe you can think about a list of links to them? Hope this helps
