When F4 is pressed, the Attachment Type Lookup opens. It displays only those attachment types that either are not secured or are types for which the user has security permissions assigned. See VA Attachment Type Security for more information.
Attachment types are created and maintained using DM Attachment Types.
Create and Send Email Attachment
Check this box if the file that you are attaching should be included in the emails generated using the Create and Send feature in the PM module. If you do not check this box, the file will not display on the Attachments tab on the PM Send Documents form. Click here for general information about the Create and Send feature.
This box is important because by default all attachments associated with a record are automatically included in any emails generated using the Create and Send feature. For example, you should not check this box if the attachment is an internal memo that contains confidential information.
