Add Attachment

The Add Attachment step allows you to add file attachments to a job. When the step is run, a Browse button appears in the job tile to allow files to be attached to the job. If help text was configured for the step, it appears at the bottom of the job tile.

Note:

If a list of accepted file types was configured for the step, you can only attach allowed file types to the job.

Once an attachment is uploaded, you can do the following:

• Update the name in the Alias text box.
• Click the Download Attachment button to download an attachment.
• Click the Delete Attachment button to delete an attachment.

Note:

To view a job's attachments in the Details panel, click the Attachments tab .

You can also perform the following actions when the step is run:

• Click Pause to pause the step.

  Note:

If the step has not been configured with Can Be Skipped, the step must be run at least once before it can be finished.
