Creating Constituent Attachments

This section provides an overview of constituent attachments discusses how to create and view attachments to constituent records.

When you create an attachment to a person, organization, or prospect level, you are attaching the file to the highest level of the record; this is the most global level at which you can attach a file. However, prospects are slightly different because menu security can be assigned to prospect records, restricting access to prospect attachments.
