Add Attachments

WA allows you to attach external documents to single parts at the Concept, Development, Parts Catalog, and Analytics levels, and similar to document attachments at the Program, Version, Variant, and Product levels. You can upload and group the files under three pre-defined categories such as General, Technical, and Planning. You can also upload files at the top level outside of these three categories.

1. Select one of the following:
   • Concept > Functional BoM management.
   • Development > E-BoM Management.
   • Parts Catalog > Parts Management.
   • Analytics > Reporting.
   Note: In Analytics > Reporting, you can view the attachments in read-only mode.

   

2. Click anywhere in the Attachments bar to temporarily open the Attachments dialog box or click the icon to expand or collapse the Attachments dialog box.
3. Select the required category from the Navigation tree.
4. Click the icon.
5. Again, click anywhere in the Attachments bar if it was temporarily open.
6. In the Attachments dialog box, select the category to which you want to attach a document.
7. Click the icon to add an attachment .
8. Navigate to the file that you want to upload and click Open.
   The file will be selected and listed in the Attachments table.

   

9. Click the Save Changes icon to save the changes that you have made.
   Note:

   • As a WA Administrator, you can pre-configure the file types by editing the WA configuration file analytics.properties.
   • In the default WA installation, the allowed file types are images, text, and office documents. WA does not allow you to attach executable files for security reasons and performs two types of checks - one for file extensions, and second for file content.
