Configuring the Attachment widget 

---

By default, attachment content is displayed in the Viewer widget that is on the same page as the Attachment widget. You configure the Attachment widget to display content in a separate browser window or to display a specified document in the Viewer widget.

About this task

You can configure the Attachment widget if you own the page that the widget is on or have permission to edit the page.

Restriction: The Attachment widget does not support certain MIME types that are specific to Workplace and Workplace XT. The widget does not display these document types correctly and, as a result, users might encounter errors when they attempt to open the documents. To avoid these errors, store files on the following MIME types in folders that users cannot browse to or that they would not search for:

eForm-related types

application/x-filenet-documentpolicy
application/x-filenet-formdata
application/x-filenet-itxformtemplate
application/x-filenet-workflowpolicy

Entry templates

application/x-filenet-customobjectentrytemplate
application/x-filenet-declarerecordentrytemplate
