Attachment allowed for input form
An attachment can be added to a completed form. You can allow this or even make it mandatory.
The visitor can use an attachment to quickly and easily add information that does not fit into the existing fields. Consider for example, Images, Word documents or PDF files.
Whether or not an attachment can be added to an input form is something you set up in the dossier item type and in the input form.
The maximum file size and the allowed file types for an attachment to an input form are the same as the size and types of a dossier item attachment.
View/set the dossier item type:
For the dossier item type, the Available for input forms and Link file check boxes must have been selected.
- Check the linked dossier item type.
You can save the completed form in the dossier of the person or organisation. You can only do this if a dossier item type is linked to the input form.
An exception here is an input form of the type Course Registration. For this input form, a default dossier item type Course Registration (Profit) is available. The workflow Course Registration is linked to this dossier item type.
To make a dossier item type suitable for an input form:

- Select the Link file check box if you want to allow attachments to be added to the input form.
- Go to the tab: Destination.
- Check if at least one destination of the dossier item is set to Optional.
The destination of a dossier item determines the dossier in which you can add and view the item. You can select multiple destinations. For example, if you select organisation/person as destination then you can open the submitted dossier item from the dossier of the organisation and/or person. You specify the destination per dossier item type.
For example, if you have linked an input form for an Organisation/Person then you set this destination to Optional. When the form is submitted, you can then select the correct Organisation/Person.
If you select the available for input forms check box then no destination may be linked with Mandatory or One of these mandatory.
