This opens the details page of the asset.
3. Click the profile that contains the attribute to which you want to attach the document.
4. Locate the attribute and click the corresponding Attach button. (If the attribute has existing attachments, be sure to click the lower-most Attach button. If you click an Attach button that belongs to an existing attachment, you will replace that attachment. If you do not see an available Attach button, use the plus button to display one.)
The Add External Link dialog box is displayed.
