Attach a file to a selected process, process container, or operation

You can create and attach files and documents to a process, process container, or operation.

You work with two types of attachments in Teamcenter Easy Plan:

  • Attachments are non-managed documents, because they follow the life cycle of the object to which they are attached. You use the Files tab to add and maintain attachments.

  • Managed documents, or reference documents, have their own life cycle. You use the Documents tab to add managed documents.

  2. Select a process in the Process panel and then click the Files tab.

  5. Click Done.

  6. (Optional) To download or delete the attachment, select the attachment in the Files tab.
