Put plans, photos and paperwork in the right JobTread folder, tagged

Foreman writes into your JobTread Files tab as a normal user would. A file it uploads lands in a real folder, carries real tags and a description, and shows up in your team's filters immediately.

It can also attach files to budget line items, post and read comments on any record, fix a daily log after the fact, and tell you who a file is shared with.

Ask Foreman to put a file on a job and it does the whole thing in one step: the upload, the folder, the tags and the description together. Before it uploads it can check which folders that job actually uses and which tags your organization has, so the file lands where your crew looks for it rather than loose at the top of the Files tab.

The file can come from three places — something you attached to the chat or that already lives in your Foreman project, a public web link that JobTread fetches itself, or text you dictate that gets saved as a file.

Files do not only live on jobs. JobTread also accepts them on a daily log, a task, a document, a location, a contact, a customer or vendor account, or the organization itself — so a certificate of insurance can sit on the vendor rather than being copied onto every job.

Search by part of the name, by folder, by file type or by upload date, on one job or across your whole organization. Results come back with the folder and tags on every row, and Foreman pages past JobTread's row cap on its own.

For any single file it can read everything JobTread holds: folder, description, tags, size and type, who uploaded it and when, whether it has markups on it, which job, task, document or daily log it hangs off, its comment thread and who has been granted access.

One caveat on tags: JobTread cannot filter by tag on its side, so Foreman fetches the rows first and filters them itself. If you search by tag alone on a job with hundreds of files, ask for a wider search so nothing is missed.

Anything already in JobTread can be tidied up. Rename a file, move it to another folder, rewrite its description, or clear either one back to empty. Tags can be added, removed, or replaced wholesale.

A whole folder can be renamed on one job, which moves every file inside it. That touches your crew's files in bulk, so Foreman asks first, and it refuses if the folder you named is empty — a safeguard against a typo creating a phantom folder.

A file can also be copied onto another record without re-uploading anything. That is how a signed change order that lives on the document ends up in the job's Signed Documents folder too, or how a vendor's insurance certificate gets pinned to the vendor account.

Tags are how your Files tab filters, and they are shared across your whole organization rather than per job. Foreman can list what you have, with each tag's colour and description, and it will use an existing tag rather than making a near-duplicate.

It can create a new tag, recolour or rename one, or delete one — but all three change shared company settings that everybody sees, so it confirms with you before it does. Deleting a tag removes it from every file on every job and cannot be undone.

Files can hang off a budget or estimate line item — the spec sheet, the cut sheet, the supplier quote or the photo that justifies a price. Foreman adds to whatever is already attached rather than wiping it, unless you ask it to replace the list. JobTread allows up to ten attachments per line.

Attachments on a line item or a comment are their own kind of record, so Foreman can read one on its own — name, size, type, download link, markup state and the line or comment it belongs to — and rename it in place. Renaming is all JobTread allows on an attachment; to swap the file itself, attach the new one and drop the old.

Document attachments work the same way. Upload the file first, then it can be attached to a proposal or invoice.

Foreman can read and post on the comment thread of any JobTread record — a job, a file, a daily log, a task, a document, a time entry, a customer or vendor account, or the organization. It reads the whole thread including replies, attachments, authors and who each comment is visible to.

Posting notifies everyone watching that record, including your customer if the comment is customer-visible, so Foreman only posts when you ask it to. You control the audience per comment: everyone, internal staff only, the customer, or the vendor. A comment can be pinned to the top of the feed, given a subject line, carry file attachments, or be a reply or a reaction to an existing comment.

Comments can be edited afterwards — text, subject, pin state and audience. Attachments are the exception: setting them replaces the list, so ask for every file you want to keep. A comment can also be marked unread so it comes back to the top of your JobTread inbox as a reminder.

An existing daily log can now be edited — its notes, its date, its custom fields, or which job it belongs to. Until this release the only way to fix a typo was to delete the log, which took its photos with it.

Foreman can also list logs across your whole organization or one job, filtered by date range or by what the notes say, with the weather, the author and the attached photos. That is what answers "what happened on site last week" across every job at once.

JobTread shares records person by person. Foreman can list who currently has access to a job, a file, a tag, a document, a daily log, a comment, a location or an account — which is how you answer "can the customer see this file?" before you upload something sensitive.

It can grant access to someone already in your organization, and revoke a grant just as easily. Granting to a role rather than a person only works on file tags and comments; everywhere else JobTread requires a named person. Granting access to an email address that is not in your organization invites that person into your JobTread account, so Foreman asks for explicit confirmation before doing that.

Sharing is silent by default — nobody is emailed unless you say so. If you do want the person told, Foreman can send JobTread's share notification, and it will confirm with you first because that is a real email to a real person.

Foreman can read your JobTread notifications — task reminders, comment mentions, document activity — newest first, with a link to each record, and filter to unread only. That is the fastest answer to "what needs my attention in JobTread?"

It can also show which events you are subscribed to and whether each arrives by email or push, which is how you find out why somebody is not getting told about comments or daily logs.
