If you have following code to make it possible to add an attachment :

```auto

{% input custom.director.pay_check as:file %} 

```

then you can check whether or not a document has been added, by adding `.document` to the object with an if-statement, like this :

```auto

{% if custom.director.pay_check.document %}
There's a file added
{% endif %} 

```
