    limiting reference file attachments

    I'm trying to keep people from referencing drawings that are not part of the active project. Does anyone know how to accomplish this in ProjectWise?

      As others have answered answered access control doesn't have an option that will restrict in this way.

      I have a couple of ideas about improving the visibility of files attached from outside of the parent project. I want to set up and try out theory and then I will post my findings here.

      Vickie, have you had any luck finding a way to limit the references to just the active project?

      Hi Matt,

      Haven't gotten it worked out yet.

      Bear in mind that Kevin is right, if the user can see a file they can attach it. No way to stop them.

      I am looking into a creating a saved search that can find and display the refs that are not from the folder. And an easier way to detach them. That way a non admin can perform the check.
