Note: Some attachment file extensions are not permitted for upload into the CMS due to the possibility of malware vulnerabilities. A virus scan will execute before the file is uploaded to the database.

Deleting Attachments
Attachments uploaded by an Administrator or Investigator can be deleted if the company setting 'Allow Deletion of Files Uploaded by Company' is enabled on the Settings page.
Note: The CMS will allow most file formats - (Text, Word, PDF, Excel, picture file, etc.). The cumulative total size allowed for all attachments is 10MB for Connects Standard Legacy service level and 100MB for Connects Standard Enterprise service level. Please contact client success if you’d like to adjust your company service level settings. Attachments with certain file extensions are not permitted to be uploaded into the CMS due to the possibility of malware vulnerabilities to CMS users. Virus scanning also occurs upon upload so that malicious files will not enter the database.
