Connects an eligible record to another record attached as supporting information. This relationship links records rather than requiring the target to be a File.
When to use it
For change records, use the Change Cockpit as the main UI to manage the record and its relationships. Use Attachment when you need to record this connection between the source and target records. Attachment connects managed records.
Records and direction
- Relationship type: Non-structure. Associates records without creating a parent-child hierarchy.
- From: Eligible managed records, including Project.
- To: Eligible managed records, including Document.
How to use it
- Create the relation with drag and drop in a Structure widget: drag the intended Document onto the Project it relates to. Choose Attachment, review the direction and any offered values, then confirm. When either selected record belongs to a workflow process, use the workflow tools for that connection.
- Alternatively, use Connect from the source record and select the target with the Attachment relationship.
- Review the resulting connection and the selected record versions where applicable. Check the displayed relationship filters if the connection is not visible.
Example
Pump Redesign (Project) is connected to Leakage Test Report (Document) through Attachment. The association lets readers follow the related information without creating a hierarchy. Use File or Additional Formats for a direct connection to uploaded file content.
Choosing the relationship
Attachment connects managed records. File and Additional Formats connect managed records to uploaded file content.
