The task developer can create a task type with a Data View tab that supports working with attachments that are stored in webMethods Content Service Platform (CSP). For example, suppose an accident claim is published to CSP (or a managed repository). This triggers a BPM business process that contains a CSP content document type with the accident claim form as an attachment. The CSP content document type is identified by a unique content ID.

The business process starts a CSP-attachment-enabled task for a claims adjuster, displaying the accident claim form as an attachment on the task Data View tab. The claims adjuster can view, edit, or delete the file associated with the CSP content document type (depending on user permissions) as well as add any other files as attachments to the CSP content document type.

In this case, attachments are restricted to the CSP content document type defined in the task type. If you want to add attachments to any other CSP content document type, you would do this on the Content tab of the task (assuming the task has been implemented to support this, which would be unusual). If the Content tab is not available to you, you can add attachments only to the CSP document type defined in the task type.

If the task has been implemented with a Comments tab, you can add attachments there, but they will not be integrated into the webMethods Content Service Platform repository and will exist only in the task. For more information, see Adding an Attachment to a Task.
