Use this tab in the desktop application to upload, view, and store files such as contracts, waivers, and images for your
employees. These documents are attached to the
employee record for which they were uploaded.

This tab supports various file types, such as image files, Microsoft document files, word processing files, drawing files, spreadsheets, and so on. When you upload a document, a copy of the file is stored in
Deltek. You can upload and attach documents only if
Deltek has been configured to allow you to attach documents and the file type is an approved file type.
