IMAGE ATTACHMENT PREPARATION · Workflow idea

Bring selected images into the record that needs them.

Find records with an approved image link, retrieve the image, and prepare it as an attachment on the corresponding record. Let a teammate verify the link, image, record match, and permissions before the file is added.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps teams make selected online images available alongside the records that refer to them.

  1. Select records with an approved image address

    Choose the relevant records and confirm that the image address was collected for the intended purpose.

  2. Check the source before retrieval

    Use trusted locations, reject unexpected destinations, and avoid retrieving files from unverified or restricted sources.

  3. Review the image and record match

    Compare the image with the record and flag missing, unrelated, duplicate, or sensitive content.

  4. Confirm permissions and storage access

    Have a teammate verify usage rights, privacy, target attachment field, and who can access the resulting file.

  5. Approve before adding the attachment

    Require an authorized person to approve the exact image and record before it is uploaded or saved.

03 / The result

Something to build on.

The handoff

An image attachment proposal linked to its source address and target record, awaiting approval before it is uploaded or saved.

Keep in mind

An image address may be unsafe, expired, or unrelated to the record, and the image may contain personal information or material the team cannot reuse. Retrieve only trusted, approved addresses; check the image, rights, record match, and destination access before an authorized person approves the upload.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose the records and image field

Select the record set and identify the approved field containing the image address.

Set trusted source and file rules

Define permitted locations, image formats, size limits, and how unavailable or unexpected files are handled.

Choose the attachment destination and reviewer

Select the record field, restrict its audience appropriately, and name who checks the file and reuse permissions.

Test valid, missing, and unrelated images

Confirm each image remains paired with the right record and that uncertain or sensitive files stay pending review.
