Attach Documents

You can attach documents of any type to many of the datafiles in Vernon CMS.

The links to attached documents are in the Document References window. There are two tables in the Document References window.

The Documentation table is for linking documents that exist in the Document file in Vernon CMS. The benefit of this is that the document links to multiple records within Vernon CMS, and you can search for the document and records related to it.

The External File table is for linking documents that are outside Vernon CMS. You can double-click on documents in this table to open them.
