This article explains how to create new attachments and store them in the attachment library for later use.
Accessing the library #
The attachments library serves as a storage repository for all your attachments, including public attachments from other creators. Private attachments are visible only to you, while public attachments are accessible to all test creators. Attachments can be added to tests/surveys, training courses, questions, and user profiles. Additionally, attachments added to those pages will be displayed in this library.
It’s important to note that users with role that have the Manage any attachment permission can access and edit all attachments in the system, regardless of attachment privacy. If you lack this permission, only public attachments and those you’ve created will be available to you.
Supported attachment types include: picture, video (MP4), audio (MP3), text, PDF, archive (.zip), Google Docs, YouTube video, Vimeo video, and link. The attachment size limit is 1 GB.
On this tab, you can:
- View list of all available attachments.
- Include in the list all attachments from the system. This option can only be seen by users who have the Manage any attachment permission. It allows all attachments in the system to be displayed in a list, including private attachments from other users. By default, only public attachments and attachments created by you are displayed.
