Help CenterAs of the 24.1 software update (released in Oct 2024), Keystone made the "Attachment Type" a required field when attaching an electronic file to Keystone.
This change was implemented to allow users to more easily search / filter their file attachments and to apply default security controls on groups of attachments.
Keystone will continue to maintain and deliver a small group of "standard" Attachment Types for consistency across all sites (e.g., "W2" for employees' W-2 Forms), but you can create your own Attachment Types to suit your organization's policies.
To do so, use the screen "Enter / Update Attachment Types" (KC0213):
- Application Codes associated with this Type: This determines which screens have access to the given Attachment Type. In the screenshot above, any "Keystone Financials" related screens will have access to this type
- Files Associated with this Type: This determineswhich database files have access to this Attachment Type. In the screenshot above, there is no additional filtering for based on the database files
- KeyNet Application Codes: This determines which areas of KeyNet will have access to this Attachment Type.
- Default Security: This sets the default security on the attachment when added to Keystone, which is useful when adding sensitive documents to the system.
As noted above, when attaching a new document, the system will prompt you to select an Attachment Type. The list of attachment types will be filtered down per the settings defined on KC0213.
