What to do next

If you cannot attach a file to a document, you may need to contact your administrator.
  • If your web browser hangs when you try to attach a file, your administrator may have set a maximum file size limit on attachments. If this happens frequently, ask your administrator for the maximum attachment size.
  • In Microsoft™ Internet Explorer, if you cannot add attachments, see your administrator. You may need to install Browser Cache Management. To do this, open your preferences and click Logout. If that does not solve your problem, there may be other restrictions.
