Document's attachment

In many cases, the system Admin may be in charge of further tasks besides the initial creation of the document, such as adding attachments to a document (this activity can be performed also by the contributor users having the required rights). For example, if Tagetik Collaborative Office needs to use reports or data tables which are not generated by the Reporting engine of Tagetik, it is possible to attach an Excel file and then display its content inside the Collaborative Office Document.

The attachments represent the files attached to the document or to a document part by which it is possible to add some information to the document by means of Objects. Such information can be kept inside the files and then used as additional information, such as instructions for the contributor users. Possible file extension:

• Excel File: .xls, .xlsx, .xlsm
• Word File: .doc, .docx
• Text File: .txt
• Image File: .jpg, .bmp, .gif
• Pdf File: .pdf
• PowerPoint File: .ppt, .pptx

For further information on how to attach a file to the document, please see paragraph Attachments. Besides using the "attachment utility” to attach a file which is not natively included in the Tagetik application, you can also create a “repository” of secondary documents that goes hand in hand with the document you are creating. In this case, the content of the secondary document is not displayed inside the document but is attached to a part of the document as an additional reference information.
