Attachment Categories for Objects in Innovation Management
You can choose the appropriate attachment category while adding attachments to concepts, requirements, proposals, and ideas and set up multiple attachment categories in the Setup and Maintenance work area to organize object attachments.
While using the Save As action to create a new concept proposal, or requirements, along with the attachment, attachment category details are also carried over to the new object. This enables you to select a specific category while uploading attachments, and improves both visibility and streamlining of relevant attachments for a specific process step. It's also a prerequisite for securing attachments based on category.
To assign additional attachment categories for Innovation Management:
-
Navigate to Setup and Maintenance > Tasks > Search.
-
Search for and open Manage Attachment Entities.
-
Select the entity to see the attachment categories assigned to that specific entity.
