Work with attachments

To work with additional information in Creatio, use the Attachments and notes tab. The tab contains the Attachments and Notes details.

Use these details to store external files, links to web resources, and extended descriptions of the record. The tab is available in all system sections. For example, in the Contacts section, you can add documents that represent the history of your interactions with the contact; in the Activities section, add files that have been prepared within a task.

The Attachments detail has the following views:

btn_dtl_files_view_card.png – the tile view. In this view, the files and links added to the detail are displayed as icons. The icon appearance varies depending on the file extension.

note

The icons for different file types can be set up in the File extension lookup. For the files whose types are undefined in the lookup, a default icon is used.
