Specifying Static URL ID Attachment Properties

A Static URL ID type of attachment refers to an attachment that is associated with a URL ID that is static, or unlikely to change. You select the URL ID from the URL list defined by the Attachment URL ID List (PeopleTools, and then Search Framework, and then Search Administrator, and then Attachment URL ID List). For a Static URL ID type, the URL is generated from a URL ID (static) and a constant file reference path. This makes the URL always constant, and the file name changes based on the value received from the query field.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Define Attachment Properties: Static URL. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.
