Attachment Category wizard

The Attachment Category wizard is not available in V5.5+.

Beginning in V5.5, the names of attachment categories in your application, and the security restrictions of each category, are defined in attachment category rules.

When upgrading an application to V5.5, replace the existing attachment category definitions by creating attachment category rules with the same name. See More about Attachment Category rules for upgrade instructions.

Rules created by the V5.1 attachment category wizard.

Field value rules

The wizard creates a field value rule with these key parts:

• A work type or other Work- class as the Applies To key part
• pyAttachmentCategory as the Field Name key part
• A word to appear as the selection as the Field Value key part

Use a dash character rather than spaces in the final key part, for example Power-Of-Attorney.

The Value List property name is pyAttachmentCategories, not pyAttachmentCategory.

Privileges rules

The wizard creates one or two privileges for each category:

• Create_Zzzz where Zzzz is the category name, chosen as the third Field Value key part.
• Edit_Zzzz where Zzzz is the word chosen as the third Field Value key part.

Access of Role to Object rules

The wizard updates one or more Access of Role to Object rules in your application to cause the system to grant the privileges to those users holding a role. The wizard does not create or update access roles.
