To add a document to the attachment list, the user clicks New File, and then clicks the select button in the Attachment Name field. Siebel CRM searches for files that it must attach in the directory that it last used to attach a file.

A file attachment applet uses specialized objects and methods in the Siebel File System. For more information, see Caution About Using Specialized Classes. To configure a file attachment applet
Prefix for the Field NameSiebel CRM displays a consistent prefix in the field name for each field in the attachment business component.

The field names are AccntFileName, AccntFileDockReqFlg, and so on. |
