SEP allows you to add, edit and/or access links and file attachments for various types of records that are shared across SEP and the ReliaSoft desktop applications. (See Attachments to learn more.)
For actions and messages that you create in SEP, you can add links and attachments.
Note: The maximum file size for uploads is 20 MB.
You can also download files and perform the following editing tasks, regardless of whether the record was created in SEP or in a desktop application:
Delete links and attachments.
Edit the names and descriptions of links and attachments.
Edit the URLs for links.
However, you cannot change the Attachment Type or the attachment itself.
Note: Due to browser security concerns, links to files on a local computer or network that are created in the desktop applications cannot be created, opened or saved in SEP. You can, however, edit the file names and descriptions of these links in SEP.
The same editing capabilities for actions and messages also apply to project summaries, which originate from the desktop applications.
You can access links and download files that have been attached to FMEA records — functions, failures, effects, causes and controls — via the desktop applications; however, you cannot add, edit or delete them in SEP. (See Viewing FMEAs in SEP.)
To create a new link to an Internet site or to attach a file to an action, message or project summary, click the Add button in the Links/Attachments section of the page. This opens the Attachment Properties pop-up window. You’ll need to enter a name and, optionally, a description.
For messages, you are limited to a single attachment per message; this may be an embedded image.
To attach a file, choose Embedded File in the Attachment Type drop-down list and use the Browse button to find and select a file to upload.
To create a link, choose URL in the Attachment Type drop-down list and type the URL (up to 2,000 characters) in the address field.
