You can enhance an artifact instance by including relevant documentation, screen shots,
email threads, code, or any other supporting file.
A user can view attachments associated with artifacts in a web browser. How an
attachment is rendered in the web browser is dependent upon the attachment type selected
during the attachment creation process. You can select any of the attachment types found in
the type list or you can have the application automatically detect the attachment type. Since
the attachment is rendered based on the attachment type selected you must use a compatible
attachment type. Using an incompatible attachment type may result in failure to view the
attachment in a web browser. For example, if you save a .doc file as a
.bmp type and then try to view the attachment a blank page will appear.
Files with size equal to 0 are not compatible with Project Tracker. Attempting to attach an
empty file will result in an error message.
