Configuring attachments to the List.
Note: Storing large or numerous attachments in a List can increase database size and impact
performance. To prevent this, AVEVA Work Tasks enables users to store attachments
on AVEVA Cloud Storage. Users can then link to the cloud-stored documents within their
Lists. For more details, refer to Attachment Storage in AVEVA Cloud Storage.
The uploaded file name should be 87 characters long (120 - 33 = 87) for Ingestion.
If the file name contains special characters or spaces, each of these would count
as three characters. Therefore, it is advisable to keep file names short when uploading
them to AVEVA Drive.
There are two tabs for setting the properties:
