Contract Management › Attachments

Attachments

Attachments are electronic files or URL pages containing supporting documentation that you associate with an object. For example, you can add an attachment of a scanned contract to the legal document record that represents the contract.

You can use the following types of attachments:

• Web URL. Provides direct access to the page specified in the URL. When you add this type of attachment, include the prefix http:// for the link to work correctly.
• File. Provides direct access to a file. The file opens using the default program for the file type. At the time that you create this attachment type, the file is copied from your file system to the file system on a CA APM server.

You can add attachments to the following objects:

• Model
• Asset
• Legal Document
• Contact
• Company
• Organization
• Location

You can add one or more attachments to an object, including spreadsheets, word-processing files, and scanned documents. In addition, you can add the same attachment with the same attachment name to multiple object records. For example, you can add an attachment of a scanned invoice to all assets listed on the invoice.
