Proposal for Creating a field on Bills with link to any of the attached Documents

Deliverables 

Client needs a field on Bill that holds link for each attached documents of that bill

Solution

As a solution, we could create a new Field Attachment Links which is a Rich Text field. We could use a Saved search for setting Dynamic default value for that field. The saved search will list all the documents URL attached on all the bills.

Steps:

  1. Customization> List, Records & Fields > Transaction Body Fields
  2. On the page, Provide Field Name as Attachment Links and id
  3. Select the Type as Rich Text
  4. On the Validation & Defaulting tab, click Search list and select the Saved search created that list all the documents URL attached on all the bills
  5. Save the field

Known Issues/ Risks

  • When a document is attached in the bill in View mode, the user needs to refresh the page to view the changes in the form 
  • The field will be a Read-only field and it can only be used for display purposes only 
  • The field will list all types of documents attached to the particular bill. There won’t be any filtration regarding the file type 
  • Character limit might occur based on the length of the link in the field
