Attachment Commands

Each of the four types of work instructions can have attachments associated with them.

Expand

When you have attached either a document or a screen capture to a work instruction, Expand appears. The number is a count of the documents available. By clicking Expand , you can see the attachment screen.



You can see the maturing level of each attachment by looking at the BI Essentials. Colored boxes; blue (below) indicates that the attachment is the latest version. For more information, see Using B.I. Essentials in Work Instructions.

From the attachment screen, you can right-click any document or screen capture, and select Detach Document.

You can also right-click any screen capture, and select Update Screen Capture. The screen capture updates based on the criteria that saved when creating the capture. To update all screen captures within an operations sequence, click Update All .

3DEXPERIENCE has an internal default browser for the following types of files: bmp, jpg, jpeg, png, tiff, gif, pdf, htm, html, and xml. The browser appears in the upper right corner of the app. It can be both moved and resized.

To see other attachments, click the attachment to start its external browser.
