The Related Files feeds are limited to displaying the latest 200 files. The following table provides a summary of the options available for each file.
| Option | Description |

Filter files
The filter at the top of the Related Files feed gives you the option to filter the feed to only show records from one category of contact related records.
To filter files:
- Click on the Filter
button.
- Select the category of record you would like to filter to. For example, if you select Risks, the Related Files feed will only display files uploaded against the client's risk records.

Switch between tile and list views
The buttons at the top of the Related Files feeds give you the option to switch between a tile view and a list view.

Add files directly to the client or worker's record
To support categorisation and reporting, we recommend that users go to the appropriate related record, for example, consent or personal support plan, and upload files.
However, files that can be stored with no category and limited search-ability can be added directly to a client or worker's record.
To add a file directly to a client or worker record:
- Click on the Add Files button.
-
- Click on the Upload Files button and select the file from your computer or network, or
- Drag the file from your desktop and drop it onto the Or drop files area.
