Using Carousel Preview to Review Multiple Expense Bills

May 21, 2025

HRStop offers a convenient Carousel Preview feature that allows administrators and approvers to quickly review multiple bills or receipts submitted as part of employee expense claims. Instead of opening each attachment separately, the carousel lets you browse through all related bills in a smooth, continuous flow — saving time and improving efficiency during the approval or audit process.


What Is Carousel Preview?

The Carousel Preview is an integrated viewer that displays all the uploaded expense bills or receipts for a particular expense claim in a slideshow-like interface. Users can easily navigate between bills using arrows or swipe gestures (on touch devices), without needing to download or open files in separate windows.


Why Use Carousel Preview?

  • Faster Review: Quickly scan through all bills linked to an expense without extra clicks.
  • Convenient Navigation: Move back and forth between attachments effortlessly.
  • Improved Accuracy: Cross-check multiple documents in one place to verify expense legitimacy.
  • No Downloads Needed: View attachments inline, reducing file clutter on your device.

How to Use Carousel Preview to Review Bills

Step 1: Access Expense Details

Login as an admin, manager, or finance user and navigate to the expense claim you want to review:

  • Go to Control Panel → Expense → Expense Reports
  • Search for the specific expense report by employee, date, or status
  • Click on the report to open detailed view

Step 2: Locate the Bills/Attachments Section

Inside the expense report, scroll down to the Attachments or Bills section where all uploaded receipts are listed.

Step 3: Open Carousel Preview

Click on the Preview or View button/icon near any of the attached bills. This will launch the Carousel Preview window.

Step 4: Navigate Through Bills

Use the left/right arrows (or swipe on mobile) to cycle through all the uploaded bills. The carousel will display:

  • Bill details like filename, upload date, and size (if available)

Step 5: Zoom or Download (Optional)

  • You can zoom in/out for better clarity if needed.
  • If required, download specific bills from the carousel for offline review or records.
