Assign File

You can assign a document that is not located in an object store as an attachment to a work item. You must specify either the UNC path and file name of a document on your local network or the URL to a file in your intranet or on the internet.

UNC File

Enter the complete path and file name, or click Browse to locate the file. The UNC file name has this format:
\\machine_name\sharename\directory\file.ext

For example: \\corporateserver1\shareddocuments\salesreports\January2003.xls

NOTE  If you are using Netscape 6.0 or higher and cannot open a UNC file attachment, contact your system administrator. A UNC attachment name looks like file:\\machine_name\sharename\directory\file.ext. For example: file:\\D:\JanuaryReports\Region7.xls.

URL File

Enter the complete URL to a Web page. For example: http://www.myWebsite.com

OK

To save your changes, click OK.

Exit

To exit without assigning a file, click Exit.
