Should you be attaching a file - or using a transmittal instead?
In most cases, we recommend that you use a transmittal, instead of a mail attachment, when you are sending a document, drawing, report or another file that directly relevant to your project.
For more information see What's the difference between a mail and a transmittal? [1] You can also find out how to upload a document to Aconex [2], then send (transmit) your document [3].
