Attachment Subjects and Filenames

  • We recommend that you keep filenames under 100 characters. Please note that longer filenames will be truncated upon download. This will not affect how they are displayed in the UI; only the name of the downloaded file will be affected.

  • In the Add Attachment and Edit Attachment modals, you can describe the attachment in the Attachment Subject field.

    • The Attachment Subject will be displayed above the other form data.

    • This applies to attachments uploaded in workflows, the vendor and provider directories, and timesheets (for TERMS customers).

    • The Attachment Subject is searchable once the contract is in the Contract Library.


Attachment Categories and Fields

  • When uploading an attachment, selecting the attachment category may prompt additional fields.

    • Selecting certain categories will prompt (optional) entry of effective and expiration dates.

    • Selecting the Other category will prompt (optional) entry of an explanation.

  • In the Add Attachment and Edit Attachment modals, you can add notes about the attachment in the Additional Notes field.

    • This will be an optional, free text field.
