Attaching Files
You can attach documents (e.g. PDFs, Word files, text files, etc.), images, and other files to any asset as a way to provide additional information or supporting details about a workitem.
Notes:
- You may attach an more than one file to an asset.
- The maximum file size is 4 MB per attached file. If you want to increase the file size limit, refer to Can I increase the size limit for file attachments?
- The number files attached to the asset displays in parentheses next to the Attachments link.
- When attaching screenshots, we recommend that you use .PNG format to minimize file size without losing any detail.
- IMPORTANT: Attachments can increase the size of your database, especially if uncompressed images (e.g., such as bitmaps) are attached. If database size is a concern, consider storing them on a file server and adding Links to point to those files.
