Attachments Tool
The Attachments tool allows you to attach files to a workspace. For example, if you create a workspace to track requirements for a new project, you could use the Attachments tool to attach documents related to the project.
You can select the type of links to use for attached files by setting the Attachments tool preferences. My webMethods supports two types of links for attached files:
Simple download links. This is the default. With this type of link, when you click a link
My webMethods displays a read-only version of the file. To make changes to the file, you need to save a copy locally, make your changes, and then update the attached file.
Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (DAV) URLs. With this type of link, when you click the link
My webMethods can typically display a read-write version of the file. As a result, you can make changes to the file and save them without having to first save the file locally. To use Web DAV URLs, you must meet the following requirements:
Use the Microsoft Internet Explorer web browser.
For the types of Microsoft office documents that you want to attach, for example, .doc or .xls, configure the file type to open in a new Windows Explorer window. For more information, see Microsoft documentation.
Ensure you have installed all Microsoft Office updates for opening files read/write in Microsoft Internet Explorer and for using Web DAV URLs. For more information, see Microsoft documentation.
