Templates ↔ Attachments

Making changes to standard attachments is sometimes overwhelming. The question is, “Where were the attachments used?” or “How to quickly update them across the board?”. It’s also important to know who are using which attachments, before updating them. A new attachment can have multiple uses within your organization.

OTRS empowers you to manage this providing you an overview to manage the 1:n relationships and quickly identify the templates using your attachments.

Use this screen to add one or more attachments to one or more templates. To use this function, at least one attachment and one template need to have been added to the system. The management screen is available in the Templates ↔ Attachments module of the Ticket Settings group.
