> ##### 4.8.2.1 Adding an Attachment to a Work Item

> There are two ways to attach a document to your work items. The simplest way is to add an attachment that is already checked in to your Document Management System (DMS). The other is to attach a new document from your local system. Attaching a new document also checks it in to your DMS.

> ###### To add an attachment already checked in to your DMS:

> 1. Click Add in the Attachment table of the work item to which you want to attach a file to bring up the Adding attachment to Task dialog box.

> 2. Enter a title in the Document Title field.

> 3. Make sure that the Browse existing Attachments checkbox is checked, then click the Browse button on the DMS File Path field, and navigate to an attachment that is already checked in to your Document Management System (DMS).

> 4. Select the document so it appears with its DMS path in the Dms Path field. Then, click the Close button to return to the Adding attachment to Task dialog box.

> The document (with path) appears in the Attachments section of your work item. New buttons are created to check out and check in the attachment.

> ###### To add a new attachment and check it in to your DMS:

> 1. Click the Add button in the Attachment section of the work item to which you want to attach a file to bring up the Adding attachment to Task dialog box.

> 2. Enter a title in the Document Title field.

> 3. Check the Add a new Attachment checkbox, then click the Browse button on the Local File field, navigate to a file that you want to attach to your work item, select it, then click the Open button.

> The file will appear in the Local File field with its local path. This file will be attached to your work item and also checked in to the Document Management System (DMS) on your Server.

> 4. Click the Browse button on the DMS File Path field, and navigate to a DMS path where you want to check in your file. Select the path so it appears in the Dms Path field. Then, click the Close button to return to the Adding attachment to Task dialog box. This file will be attached to your work item and checked in to your Document Management System (DMS) in the specified location.

> The document (with path) appears in the Attachments section of your work item.

> 5. Click Attach document to attach the document to the work item's process instance.

> New buttons are created to check out and check in the attachment.

> Note: If you attempt to use a title for a new attachment that is already being used for an attachment to the process instance, you will be required to go back and change the Title.
> When the file is already present (by virtue of being attached to some other process instance), the user is prompted if he wants the file to be overwritten. If you decide to overwrite this file, you can go back to the Add Attachment page, where the "Add Attachment" button now reads "Overwrite Attachment".
