Track attachments with incremental changes

You can create an attachment to an item revision and track its status with an incremental change object, as follows:

Procedure

1. Ensure you have created the appropriate incremental change object and that it is active. The active incremental change is shown in the Incremental Change Edit Context box in the incremental change toolbar.

2. Click the Attachments pane.

3. Select the structure line corresponding to the item revision under which you want to create the attachment.

4. Select the root node (item revision) in the Attachments pane.

5. Create a new attachment by choosing File→New→Dataset/Form.Alternatively, you can attach an existing object by copying the dataset or form to the clipboard, then pasting it to the root node (item revision) in the Attachments pane.

Note

• If you open, check out, and then close a form associated with an item revision in the context of an incremental change, the checkout not retained on the form.

• When open, check out, save, and then close a form associated with an item revision in the context of an incremental change, the checkout is retained on the form.
