Attach Neutral File

V-Suite Neutral Files (VNF) can be attached via the Neutral File Tool Window.

The following criteria must be met to attach a neutral file:

The user is a member of a role with the "Customization" access right
The user has activated a Task which includes the "Attachments" scope

The "Attachments" scope category is new to V-Suite CORE 2021. The "Attachments" scope is by default not included in existing tasks. Administrators should add the "Attachments" scope category to the appropriate (standing) tasks via Task Center.

Attach Neutral File

In the Neutral File Tool Window toolbar, click the "Attach Neutral File" icon

The command will prompt the user to select one or more neutral files with file extension .VNF.
Press "Open" to attach the selected Neutral File(s)
The command will add the Neutral File to the Asset Database. It may take a few minutes to attach a very large Neutral File. Once attached to the Asset Database the neutral file no longer has to reside on the file system, the Neutral File is added as an object to the Asset Database.

The attached neutral files can only be accessed in the current WIP. To make the newly attached Neutral Files available to the Production View, publish the currently activated task. Users can view the attached asset information via the Attached Asset Explorer.
