Examples
1. Filter Attachments by File Name
Use a comma-separated list of regular expressions to specify the filenames of the attachments you want displayed.
 | Note The patterns are regular expressions, so to match a file suffix of 'jpg', use .*jpg, not *.jpg. |
Here's a detailed tutorial on regular expressions.
2. Include Old Attachments
An optional true/false value determines whether to show old versions of attachments. This is set to false by default.
Viewing the List of Attachments
When you view the page, you will see a list of attachments. When the attachment is an Office document, you will see a 'View' link as shown in the screen snippet below.
