If you click on the Attach button, a pop-up will enable you to either Browse to find the files you want to attach, or you can drag and drop the files onto the marked section of the pop-up. The same function is used to import files.

Attaching multiple files

If you want to attach multiple files, selected them in one go and drag them.

If you drag one file then another, you will keep over-writing the previous one as only one Attach maneuver can be done at a time.

Adding to an attachment

If you Attach a second (or multiple or third set) of files, these will be appended to the first (or earlier files) and the attachment will now be a zip that contains all the added files.

Overwriting an attachment

You cannot delete an attachment, but to get around this, you can attach a zip file by following the Attach process again. This completely overwrites the previous zip.

Zip files

If the attach location accepts zip files, they can be in the following formats: .zip, .gz, or .tgz

Downloading

You can download and view the attachment file or zip by clicking on the paper clip icon Image:clip.gif .

Notes: field

Notes entered in the "Notes" field may be displayed in the paper clip tooltip. This feature is not available on all screens.
