Attachments
albert.collections.attachments.AttachmentCollection
Bases: BaseCollection
Manage Attachments in the Albert platform.
An Attachment links an uploaded file to a parent entity (its parent_id),
such as a Task, Project, Inventory Item, or Note. The file itself is stored
and uploaded through the FileCollection;
an Attachment is the record that associates that stored file with an entity.
A common pattern is to upload a file and attach it in one step using the
upload_and_attach_* helpers below.
This collection is accessed as client.attachments.
