How to add a file located on a IIS server network to the [Attachments] detail

Question:

How do I add a file located on a IIS server network to the [Attachments] detail? Will I be able to download it?

Answer:

This can be achieved by adding a link that looks like "file:///C:/Windows/" to the detail.

Please note that most browsers (Google Chrome and Firefox in particular) do not support direct localhost links (for safety precautions). To avoid this, disable the "WebSecurity" plugin in the additional browser settings. You can use the IE 11 browser as a workaround, but we do not recommend this because the security of your PC may be compromised.
