Attachments library
Attachments are files that appear as links in the Custodian portal. For example, you may want to provide a supplemental document for a custodian to read before they acknowledge participation in a project.
Attachments, unlike communications, are not sent out to custodians. See Portal Content.
To add an attachment to the library:
- Click New Attachments.
- Click Choose File.
- Locate the file you want to upload.
- Click Open.
Upload starts automatically.
- In the Communication Details section, click Select.
- Select a communication and move it to the right column.
- Click Save.
Click an attachment to view its details.
Click Delete to delete the attachment.
Adding attachments to a communication
When you add an attachment to a communication, the communication must be part of a project. If someone deletes the project linked to a communication, the communication loses its project association. A SQL error appears when you try to add attachments.
Avoid this by associating the communication with a project before adding attachments. To avoid affecting active matters, use the Legal Hold Template project or a dedicated template project. You can add and maintain attachments. The communication remains available for future use.
