Note: In this release, only adding and deleting an attachment is supported, and the delete function is only available to those users who have the appropriate permissions.
In addition, the following advanced attachment features are not available in this version:
- Attachment Category Support: Attachments that are added to categories other than the default will not display, as this release does not include support for Attachment Categories.
- Attachment Count: Attachment Count is not supported in this release.
- Attachment Options: Attachment Options are not displayed or supported in this release.
- Deleting Multiple Attachments: Attachments can be deleted individually, however this release does not support deleting multiple attachments in a single action.
- Specific Attachment Permissions Not Supported: In this release, attachment permissions are determined by the user's permission settings for the entity, not at the attachment or attachment category level.
- Attachments Exceeding Supported File Size: In this release, when an attachment is added that exceeds the file size limit, the file does not upload successfully. However no dialog is displayed.
- Attachments Exceeding Support Name Length: In this release, if you attempt to add an attachment to a record with long name over 180 characters in length , the file will not upload successfully, and no dialog is displayed.
- Adding Attachments on a Sub-Type: Adding Attachments to a sub-type record is not supported in this release.
- Viewing Images: In the Aptify Desktop client, the Pictures tab allows users to add and view images to a Persons record (this control can be added to other forms but appears on the Persons record by default). In addition, any images added to the record also appear on the Attachments tab. In the Aptify web interface, users can view images individually on the Pictures tab, however any images must be added via the Attachments tab. This version does not include support for adding or navigating images on the Pictures tab.
