Configure Attachments for a FlexApp

For each FlexApp in Unite, you can add multiple attachments you want to require or suggest that candidates include with the application. Each attachment must have a unique name. Example attachments are personal statements and writing samples. You can associate attachments with custom and converted questions, or you can add a general attachment that is not associated with a question. Candidates can upload attachments in PDF or DOC file format. Attachments appear in a list grid that you can organize by sorting, filtering, and grouping columns. You can also export the list of attachments to an .XLSX file or .PDF file. The steps for configuring an attachment differ depending on whether you want to add, edit, reorder, or delete the attachment.
