Attachment for files to document is meant for future reference purpose.Physical files are streamed into the database. In another words, when you backup your database, attachments are also included.Attachments will not be displayed in any of the printouts.
You can attach any file or files to this document.In this example, a scanned copy of a receipt is attached. This will be useful for future reference or audit.
The system will allow viewing of the attached file if you have the necessary supporting applications.Meaning, if you have attached an Excel file, you are not to view it unless you have the supporting Excel application.
You may download attachment from the server to your drive.
This will permanently delete the file from your server database.
