Link a File to an Object

You can link existing files to objects contained within a project instead of adding them to each object. Linking ensures the same version of a file is used everywhere that it is linked. The application enables you to associate files in the Files detail window of the object. The files are still available from the File List page at the project level.

The following objects support the Files detail window:

• Activities
• Funds
• Logs
• PBSs
• Portfolio Funds
• Projects
• Project Funds
• Risks
• Scope Assignments
• Scope Items
• Strategies
• Submittals
• Tasks
• Task Constraints
• WBSs
• Work Packages

To link a file to an object:

1. Navigate to a page whose object supports files.
2. In the table, select an object row, and then select the Files detail window.

   Note: A screen reader will read the Files detail window as File Attachments.

3. In the Files detail window, select  Link.
4. In the Link File dialog box, select a file, and select  Add from Available.

   You can select one or more files to link.

5. Select OK.

Tips

• Add files at the project level on the Projects page. This enables you to link a file to one or more objects in the project, such as activities, WBSs, or risks.
• To remove a linked file, select the file, select the  Context menu, and select Unlink.
