Client Attachment

The Client Attachment window may be used to store additional information about a Client such as contracts, hard-copy correspondence, specific documents or forms that are unique to this Client.

Several of the Fields in this window are indexed for fast retrieval when used for reporting or calculating. You have the ability to create control files which will manage the field names in the same fashion as those which manage Debtor Attachment windows. Additionally, these windows allow you to store saved documents directly on the Client.

File

This can contain a complete filename to any kind of file needed to be attached to this Client. You can even store links to HTML documents or websites.

There are four icons to the right of this field.

  • Folder icon - Open the already attached file or if no file is yet attached, you will open a Windows file explorer screen to navigate to where you have stored the document you wish to attach.
  • Printer icon - Print the file already attached.
  • Trash bin icon - Delete the file already attached.
  • Magnifying glass icon - Opens a Windows file explorer screen for you to navigate to where your document to be attached has been saved. When located, click the "Open" button on the Windows popup. This will save the file to the Attachment without opening it first.

Useful Note If you put a URL into the File field, you will be navigated via your web browser to the website of interest when you click the Folder icon.
