Opening external files

If Document Manager is not installed, external files can be linked to the workpaper period. When an external file is linked to an account or period, a link is created between the account and the document which is stored on your system.

All source documents have an associated cover page. When opening external files, access the cover page first and then open the file. The external file, which is stored on your system, is opened in the associated application. See Using the source document cover page.

Workpapers is not a document management system. When an external file is attached to an account, a copy of the linked document is not archived. If the document is moved or deleted from your system, it will not be available in Workpapers.
