ATTACHMENTS

One of the main features of the messaging feature is to enable you easily send special attachments generated by or stored on the portal. The various panels of the 'Attachments' section are explained below

1. Resumes: This enables you to easily send resumes of candidates to employers. Resumes are generated based on the candidate's profile on the system and not their uploaded CVs.
   
   
   The 'Candidates' dropdown enables you to search for a candidate using their name or email. Start typing the name of a candidate and select the candidate from the dropdown. You can add as many candidates as you wish. The 'Resume Type' field enables you specify if you wish for the generated Resume to be full or partial. Partial Resumes will exclude candidate profile sections that have the 'Visible to public and in partial profiles?' option set to 'No'.
2. Email Resources: Email resources are files you have uploaded previously for easy reuse in email messages. Select as many files you wish to add to this list and they will be attached to the sent email.
   
   
   
3. Invoice: This allows you to generate an invoice and attach it automatically to the email. A PDF version of the invoice will be attached to the email and a link for online payment will also be attached automatically.
   
   
   
4. Upload Files: You can use this to easily upload attachments from you computer for this email alone
