Adding Files

Adding documents and files to your Contacts Journal contacts is a valuable way to stay organized and carry important documents with you to meetings. You can attach Word documents, PDF files, images, presentations, audio files etc; you can then view these files from within Contacts Journal. Note that in each case, a copy of the file is saved inside Contacts Journal; there is no link to the original file maintained (this might change in a future version).

On iPhone / iPad

From the contact’s Files tab, press the + button and select one of these options:

• Import from Dropbox: this will open the Dropbox app on your device (if installed) and you can select the file you want to import into Contacts Journal
• Import from Camera Roll: select a photo from your iPhone photo library
• Import from iCloud Drive: import documents from other apps that support iCloud Drive
• Scan Documents: scan receipts and documents using a built-in Document Scanner. Files are saved as PDF files inside Contacts Journal. Available in iOS13+
• Add Drawing: create a sketch or hand-written note, and saved inside Contacts Journal.  Available in iOS13+
• Transfer over WiFi: transfer files from your computer to your device over WiFi. Your computer has to be on the same WiFi network as your iPhone / iPad

You can also transfer files from other apps into Contacts Journal:

• To transfer attachments from Mail, press and hold on any attachment and then select the “Open In” button. Select Contacts Journal from the list of apps, and then select a contact to attach the document to.
• Other apps on the iPhone / iPad also support the “Open in” button, and you can follow the same steps as above to transfer documents into Contacts Journal 
• On iPad, you can now drag-and-drop emails from the Mail app into Contacts Journal. You can see how to do this in our demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoDjMiH4Pds
