To a data entry field group, you can add a field to upload a document.

This document attachment field must be linked to a record table in the workflow document. When created, the document attachment field is added, as a virtual field, to the workflow document, to the defined record table. You can edit the document attachment field settings in the workflow document.

You can select a document attachment field for approval in an approval step.

During or at the end of workflow execution, the entered data can be transferred to the target. If a document attachment is uploaded and data is transferred to the target, a document management attachment is created for the created or updated record. For more information on document management attachments, refer to Configure document management.
