Attachments for Master Projects

  • Users can attach documents of the defined MIME types for master projects by navigating to the Documents view in the project workspace. These attachments are stored in the database and not in the Document Management System.

  • In the Documents view, you can display the attachments that you had uploaded to master projects from the detailed view.

Documents for Business Objects in Master Project Structure

  • Users can view documents for all business objects of a master project or only for a specific business object.

  • The list of documents is dependent on the master project structure view that the user chooses.

  • Users can navigate to the document management system and view documents attached to business objects.

  • Note that you can only view documents but not create new documents for business objects. To create new documents, you must navigate to the Create Document screen (transaction CV01N).
