In the Field Portal App Configuration utility, settings are configured in the Notation Tab.

2020 (67A) and Earlier Attachment Settings

To enable download of Notation objects/attachments to the device, In IIS Manager under the technisoftfc virtual directory: Create a child virtual directory that point to the folder having the attachments. We strongly suggest using the alias of files. This virtual directory already has security set so only the app can download files.
 

In the Field Portal App Configuration utility, the Notation tab displays more settings when the old attachment system is in use.

67A and earlier Attachment Settings

Objects Path

Enter the Objects Path which is the Physical path in IIS. This can not be a mapped drive.

In a multi-server setup make sure the domain user has security rights to access the shared file.

Objects URL

Type in the full URL to the Objects folder

Objects Path Alias (optional)

Objects Path Alias can be used if the Sage 300 desktop users have added files using a mapped drive. E.g. if \\servername\accpac_upload is accessed as M:\ on their PC and attachments are saved with this path.
