Uploading & Publishing Attachments

To add an attachment to a project you must upload it to Iasta SmartSource. When you add an attachment, the default setting is for it to be published but you can choose to make it unpublished. Published attachments are available to all project attendees as soon as the project is published. Unpublished attachments are only visible to sponsor company project attendees.

»To upload an attachment

Select and expand the project in the Connections and Projects tree, open the Edit Project menu on the toolbar, choose Attachments, and select Add Attachment to open the Upload Attachments window.

To attach a file to the project, click on the toolbar, select one or more files to attach, then click Open.

NOTE: To select several files at once, click the first file, press CTRL + SHIFT on the keyboard and click the last file, or press the SHIFT key and click multiple individual files.
