      Select this button to locate the file you want to attach.

      • Copy File
        Saves the file to the directory specified in your pathname setup. The file name is automatically generated by Service Management and appears in the non-editable Document ID field in the upper portion of the window. The complete filename will contain the appropriate format extension.

      • Attach File
        Saves the path to the file. You will use less hard disk space by attaching the file, but risk losing the path if the file is ever moved.

      • Copy to Database
        Copying the file to a Microsoft SQL database offers a more secure connection to the documents and makes the documents easier to manage. When selecting the file to attach to the appointment, in the Source Documentation section select Copy To Database. Copy to Database is the only option available if you are attaching a file when using the Web Client. You are also only able to view an attached file if it has been saved to the Microsoft SQL database.

      • Cloud Storage
        Saves the file to the Azure Cloud. This option must be set up in the Documentation Storage Setup window before you can store attachments.
