Attachment Definitions

The attachment definition controls which tables and columns will be used to link Web Form attachments to the appropriate records. Use attachment definitions that are designed for the specific Web Form. Using existing definition files may cause unforeseen issues that could affect data integrity.

Creating the Attachment Definition

Attachment definitions are defined in the Administrative Console. The user must have "Execute" permissions with an appropriate security role for Documents Online.

  1. Within the Administrative Menu, select Documents Online > Setup > Attach Definitions. The right pane changes to display the Attach Definitions screen.
  2. Select the Add Definition button
    . This will set the screen to "Add Mode."
  3. Add each of the definitions as shown in the Productivity Pack Attach Definitions (below).
  4. Press the Save button
    after all the information is entered.

Rebuild Security

Creating an attachment definition creates a node in Manage Security Roles for Documents Online, Databound Attachments node. The Role-Based Security controls the ability to attach (Write) or view (Read) images.
Once all Attachment Definitions are added and saved, rebuild the security structure to incorporate the new nodes into the security.
Next, rebuild the user security. The security for the users can be rebuilt By Role or By User.
