Attachments

All Synthesis-enabled applications allow you to attach URLs and/or files that were created in other applications. This helps you to keep supporting documentation all together in the same place with your analysis. You can attach URLs and/or files to:

There are three types of attachments available: linked attachments, embedded attachments and Report Word Docs:

Adding Attachments

Note: To hide or display the Attachments column in the System panel or FMEA hierarchy view, right-click the column headers in the view, then click Customize Columns to select which columns you want to display. These settings are stored per computer/username in the System Hierarchy page or the FMEA Hierarchy page of the Application Setup, so any project that you open on this computer will have the same columns displayed.

The Attachments window is shown next.  

This window allows you to manage the attachments for the item, record or resource. Existing attachments are shown in the table. Click a column header to sort the attachments by that column; click the column header again to reverse the direction of the sort.

At the bottom of the window are commands that allow you to add, edit, delete, open or save a copy of the attachment. Note that deleting embedded files deletes the actual file from the project. For linked files or URLs, deleting the attachment removes the link to the file, leaving the original file untouched.

The Add/Edit Attachment window is shown next.

Specify what you are attaching by selecting either Embedded File, File Link, URL or Report Word Doc (system hierarchy only) in the Attachment Type area.

If you are attaching a file, click the Browse icon (...) in the Address field to browse for and select the file to be attached. If you are attaching a URL, enter the URL in the Address field. The Name field will be populated automatically based on the Address field. If desired, you can change the name and/or enter a description for the attachment.
