Attachment Download

Use the Attachment Download screen to view and download attachments that members of your assigned groups have uploaded to expense reports and expense authorizations.

The Attachment Download enables users with an assigned functional role (for example, Primary Supervisor) to view and download attachments that members of their assigned groups have uploaded to expense reports and expense authorizations, eliminating the need to open individual expense reports or expense authorizations to view them.

Note: Attention System Administrators: In addition to application rights, users also require access to the Alternate File Location, where attachments are currently stored, as well as locations where attachments have been previously stored
