Linking proof to a vendor

Proof can be linked directly to a vendor in the vendor module. You can link or unlink proof from vendors at any time.

Click the arrows below to learn more:

Linking proof to a vendor

  1. From the left menu, select Vendors.

  2. Select the Vendors tab.

  3. Select the vendor you want to link proof to.

  4. Add your proof in one of the following ways:

    1. Drag and drop files onto the proof grid.

      • Click Add proof and select one of the following:

        • My Computer - To use proof stored on your computer, click My Computer in the upper-left corner.

        • Cloud storage integration - To use proof stored in an integration, such as Drive, select the integration’s icon from the Add integration section in the bottom-left corner. Optionally, turn on LiveSync to automatically keep your proof up to date.

        • Paste a link - Select this option to use a website URL as proof. The URL is rendered as a “Link” file type in Hyperproof; the only information shown in the file is the URL.

        • Paste an image - Select this option to use a screenshot as proof. Take a screenshot (Cmd-Shift-5 on Mac, Shift-S on Windows), copy it to the clipboard, and then paste it in Hyperproof. Chrome users may need to allow this functionality if prompted by the browser (refresh the page after clicking Allow).
