Using the Attachments Tab

Use the Attachments tab to add files to a record. The Attachments tab is the same for all record types.

To add an attachment to a record:

    TIP: Multiple files can be selected in the Open dialog box, using Ctrl+click or Shift+click.

    As files are uploaded, a progress bar is displayed. When the files are uploaded, they are displayed in the appropriate areas in the Attachments tab. 
  4. If desired, change the values in the fields. For field descriptions, see the sections below.
  5. Repeat steps 2–4 to add additional attachments.
  6. To remove an attachment, click the Remove icon.
  7. Save the record.

Fields in the Images area

The Images area contains the following fields:
  • Display Priority: Select one of the following options to indicate the order in which to display the images:
    Primary: Makes the image the primary image for the record. Only one image can be selected as the primary image for each record.
    Secondary: Makes the image the secondary image for the record. Only one image can be selected as the secondary image for each record.
    Hidden: Displays the image in the Other Images area. This does not prevent users from seeing the image. If more than two images are added to the record, then the additional images are automatically displayed in the Other Images area.
  • Email check box: Select this check box to include the image as an attachment when the record is emailed. When selected, the Email Attachment Size Usage field is updated with the size of the image. 

    NOTE: The Email Attachment Size Usage field shows the limit for the total size of the attachments per email. If the total size of the images selected for email reaches the limit, then additional images cannot be selected for inclusion in the email.
