Viewing or downloading an attachment
Perform these steps to view or download a file attached to a data module (DM).
Procedure
- In the Navigation panel, click Attachments.
The Attachments window opens. The left panel of the window displays a list of DMs in the publication that have files attached to them. When the window opens, the DM selected before the Attachments button was clicked is active. If you want to work with a different DM, select it in the left panel to make it active.
The right panel contains information about the active DM, including a list of its attachments if any, and controls for working with them.
Note: The list of attachments shows only those attachments to which you have permissions (that is, all public attachments and any non-public attachments you created). - Ensure that the name and path to the DM with the attachment you want to view or download is displayed in the Target field.
- From the list of attachments associated with the active DM, select the file name link for the attachment you want to view or download.
LiveContent S1000D opens a new browser window and displays the attachment if its file type (such as a video, image, or .txt document, for example) can be displayed. If the browser cannot display the attachment, a window appears prompting you to download the file or select an application with which to open it.
- When you have finished viewing and downloading attachments, do one of the following.
- Click Close to close the Attachments window and return to the location in the publication selected before the window was opened.
- Click GoTo to close the Attachments window and go to the location of the currently selected DM.
