Hi, We are excited about the new Document Attach feature in GP 2016 R2 and feel this would be of great use. We currently use PaperSave to attach documents and find that having a 3rd party program load up during launching of GP is cumbersome. If we could switch to the Document Attach feature in GP this would be great. However, where Document Attach falls short is: 1. Users would like to have the ability from within SmartList to perform Ad-Hoc querying and reporting to get back a result of transactions and to be able to export or have the ability to view the attached documents from those results.. 2. We are wondering if there is functionality somewhere in GP that will allow usto view multiple Document Attachments from a query result? 3. This is a feature that PaperSave offered and the new GP Document Attach may be a game changer for us if users in GP could receive this functionality. Hope this makes it to the next GP release becuase I think this will be a game changer for users using PaperSave.

I fully agree with this functionality enhancement. Anyone who we have ever showed DocAttach, they all ask how easy is to search in a list and click to open the document. Especially auditors...

Agree with Curtis...
One of the biggest drawback of the new Doc Attach feature is the lack of manageability from a system point of view.. Attached documents should be easier to manage from a central system view and be able to delete when no longer needed.. instead you have to resort to SQL to perform this.
Secondly, the Doc Attach feature should offer the option to store the files "internally" or "externally" like the old OLE Notes system.. many sysadmins are not pleased by the huge growth of their company DBs after users started attach files like wild wide west manner, not realizing the impact it has on the long run. Adding thousands of documents per month inflates the size of the DB's dramatically.
