How to launch an attachment in Process Modeler

Document number: 15344

 

If an object in Process Modeler has at least one attachment that may be launched, it will have a paperclip and downarrow icon, like this: Process Modeler object with attachment.

For information on how to add a new attachment link to an object, see Eureka! document 15343 — Creating new attachment links in Process Modeler.

To launch the attachment(s), follow these steps:

  1. Click once on the downarrow portion of the icon.

  2. A popup list appears of the available attachments.
    • The type of attachment (file, URL, or email) is also identified.

  3. Click on the attachment you wish to launch.
    • If the attachment link is a file, you must have the native application on your machine. For example, if the file is an *.xls file, you must have Microsoft Excel installed on your machine.
    • If the attachment is an email link, Lotus Notes should launch and an email will be created (but not sent).

 

The chosen attachment should be launched.
