After you execute the action, the system opens an attachment assigned to the compliance document, the manner in which this attachment is opened depends on its type.

  • If the attachment type is Storage, the system downloads a copy of the attachment.
  • If the attachment type is Link, the system opens a new tab in your web browser with the attachment’s URL.

As part of the open document process, the system checks your assigned language on the My Profile Settings page. If a document attachment exists in that language, the system opens that version.

If no document matches your language, the system checks the Default Language Code field value configured on the Compliance Documents Setup page.

If multiple documents exist in either your language or the default language,

  • The system opens the Attachments page, filtered to show all attachment that meet the appropriate language criteria.
  • You can then manually select the appropriate document version.

If no documents match your language or the default language, the system opens the Attachments page without filters.
