Configure Global File Attachment Settings

Use the Attachments page in the Security Settings window (in CSM Administrator) to configure Global Attachments settings, including:

• Maximum allowable file size to import, in MB.
• Which file types can be imported (example: All, explicit include list, or explicit exclude list).

Each Security Group can be configured to override the global settings.

2. Click the Attachments page.
3. Select the Limit Imported File Size to check box to specify a maximum allowable file size to import, in MB. Then, provide the file size limit, in MB. If not selected, there is no limit and any size file can be imported.
4. Define allowable file types to be imported as attachments (select one option):
   • Allow any files:

     Select this option to allow all file types.

   • Only allow files with the following extensions:

     Select this option to import only explicit extensions. Then, provide the extensions to include (example: pdf), separated by a comma, either by typing directly in the Extensions box, or by selecting Choose File Types to open the Select File Types window.

   • Allow files with any extension except:

     Select this option to exclude explicit extensions. Then, provide the extensions to exclude, separated by a comma, either by typing directly in the Extensions box, or by selecting the Choose File Types button to open the Select File Types window.
