Working with Attachments

You can provide background information on data by attaching a file to a cell.

If your administrator selects the Enable Cell-Level Document property for the form, you can add attachments to cells.

Valid attachment file types are as follows:

  • Image types permitted: .jpg, .gif, .png, .7z

  • Non-image file types permitted: .csv, .xls, .xlsx, .txt, .zip, .jlf, .doc, .docx, .ppt, .pptx, .rtf, .pdf, .gdoc, .gsheet, .gslides, .msg

Note:

  • There are restrictions on which characters are allowed in filenames for file attachments. Filenames can only contain letters, digits, underscores (_), hyphens (-), periods (.), and spaces.

  • When adding a URL attachment using Oracle Smart View for Office client, Oracle requires a valid URL using either the HTTP (http://) protocol or the secure HTTPS protocol (https://).

You could attach several documents to a cell, each with updated assumptions behind the cell's sales data. You cannot attach the same attachment to more than one cell. The Attachment icon attachment icon indicates that a cell has an attachment.

  1. In the form, select the cell.

  2. Click Actions, and then Attachments attachments button.

  3. Browse to the file, and then click Upload.

    To view the attachment, click its hyperlink.
