Extension points and supporting rules for attachments

Updated on May 11, 2022

You can use extension points, system settings, and standard rules to customize the processing that occurs when you add an attachment to a case. For example, you can scan an attachment for viruses.

The following rules support attachments in a case:

Data-WorkAttach-File.CallVirusCheck
An activity that you can override to integrate your application with an external virus-checking module, such as a Java routine or Windows DDL file.
Work-.EditAttachment
A flow action that you can add to a process so that users can open and edit file attachments in a case. When you submit the form for this flow action, your application creates a new version of the attachment.
Initialization/MaximumFileUploadSizeMB
An attribute that you can set in the MaximumFileUploadSizeMB dynamic system setting that you create to change the default size limit of 1 GB for attachments. For more information on how to create a dynamic system setting, see Creating a dynamic system setting.

The following figure shows a sample customization of the MaximumFileUploadSizeMB dynamic system setting:

After you create the dynamic system setting, the Value field helps you set the maximum attachment size. The following figure shows a dynamic system setting that allows a maximum attachment size of 512 MB:
