Specifying how attachments are opened

REQUIREMENTS
Permission	Observation Administrator or higher
Connectivity	Online only

InfoEx offers flexibility by allowing each operation a choice over how attachments are opened. This document describes how an Operation Administrator can specify the preference for the operation.

Attachments open in a new tab (window). Your choice is whether attachments are opened in a single additional tab and each subsequent attachment overwrites the current attachment. Or each attachment can open in a new tab. Attachments are most commonly photos that might be selected from reports, including history reports whilst using the run list or avalanche control workflow steps. So if you want to be able to view multiple photos by flipping between different tabs at the same time you should choose On.
