Flag/Icon for attachments

[janis_king]

There should be a flag/icon on the main view of a document record, search column, and next to each iteration in Iteration History, that would indicate if there are attachments.  This would be similar to Outlook where there is a paperclip icon next to e-mails that have an attachment.

Wow, I cannot believe I did not comment on this idea since it's over a year old now. What a slacker. The good news is its happening now

PTC is working on a new Strucutre indicator and Attachment indicator for Windchill 10.2 M030. They will be new "status" columns you can enable in a folder view to identify whether or not the row item (document) has Strucutre or Attachments. Not only will it display when present, the icon itself will be a hyperlink to the Strucutre tab or the Content tab of the document.

As dynamic status indicators, you will also be able to use them to filter the view if you have a need to isolate or exclude either one.
