Attachment Source

icon-attachmentsource Attachment Sources have the ability to automatically acquire or receive attachments. Attachment Sources can be created inside Locations only.

Note

There is a maximum limit of 150 files that can be received per Attachment Source per day. This equates to 1 file every 10 minutes. Each file can be up to 100MB in size. Exceeding this limit will trigger an Overload Alarm on the Source.

Note

The Account Owner, Administrators or Workspace users/groups that have been assigned a Workspace role with the configure permission can not be assigned the No Access role.


Public access

Enabling public access allows anyone to view the node (attachment, chart, dash, report or historic data) using the generated URL.

You can also embed charts and dashboards into your own website with basic HTML. Select Copy embed HTML from the URL dropdown menu for a generic code snippet (you will need to paste this in to your website). You can also revoke and replace the automatically assigned URL by selecting the Generate new URL option in the menu.

Use the available options to customize the URL based on your display preferences. These options are transient and you can use multiple variations of the URL at the same time.
