Additional file usage

[Former Member]

Hi all,

When we create a orginal application file in a DIR , we can create an additional file with original application file. Such additional file can be template or layout or picture.

I am able to create an addtional file with original application file. How to view this addtional file in DMS?

Also for what purpose we can use this application ?

Thanks,

Hi Sham,

i just have the same requirement to make use of Additional file option in CV01N,
