E9 to Kinetic migration

Hi, I haven’t done it myself, we started at 10.0.700 and have slowly worked our way up through the various  versions..

Updatable File Attachments

Laurel, I don't want to trash your idea but I agree with Fred, wouldn't UD fields attached to the relevant table  accomplish this better?You could then build either a dashboard or a custom SSRS Report that everyone could access? Hope this helps 🙂
