Depending on your topic workflow configuration, you can attach one or more types of data to topics and actions:
If you can attach an object, a Save to Topic link appears on the page. You can also add attachments when you edit a topic or action. See Adding a document-style attachment.
When you add any type of attachment, the actual data is saved as part of the topic, so changes to or deletions of the original item have no effect on the topic attachment. For example, if you save data mining run results as an attachment to a topic and then delete the run, the run results remain attached to the topic.
Note: If you attach a URL to a topic and that URL is later changed, you must edit the attachment to keep the location up to date.
When you view or edit a specific topic or action, you can view or edit all of its attachments. The Topic Attachments section of the Topic page, or the Action Attachments section of the Topic Action page, provides information about each attachment in a table that might include these standard columns:
|
