# Add an Attachment to an Order and How to View It in the Timer

Attachments can be critically important, especially if it’s a custom-made product with specific requirements that must be met precisely. In SkyPlanner, you can easily add attachments at both the order level and the process step level.

- Go to Orders and create a new order.
- Then click on **+ Create order item**.
- Select the item you plan to manufacture. Fill in the necessary information.
- At the bottom, you’ll find the **Attachments** section. Click on this field and select the file you want to share. This information will be shared with all workers involved in producing this order.

- Click **Save**.
- Now, you’ll see your order and the process steps on the right side.
- Click the **gear icon** for the first process step, **Sawing** in this example.

You’ll see information such as the workstations where this step can be performed and the calculation methods. At the bottom, you’ll find the option to add an attachment.

- Click on this field and add an attachment. This file will only be visible to people involved in this specific process step, admins, and head users.
- Click **Save**.
- Now click on **Schedule to Production** to send this order to production and forward the information to the Timer.

You’ll see that the first process step where we attached a file has been sent to **Saw 1**.

- Go to the Timer and search for the order and process step to which you attached files.
- Right-click and select **Show More**. You will now see both the attachments for the**order item**(order item files, that will appear in all process steps) and **the one specific to the process step** (job files, in this case sawing).

- If you select another task, you’ll see that it only has the order item attachment.
