Hi Robena (and everyone else on here!),
As many of the users on here are already implementing (including yourself), attachments can be accessible for reviewers by including a link in the description field. There is a caveat around that however in that only works for image file types, but now, with a bit of maneuvering, you can have any kind of attachment be accessible to reviewers as long as it's linked in the description field. As stated in our User Guide
on this page about initiating a review, "If any fields in these items contain links to Jama attachments, reviewers will need at least project read permissions to view the attachments."
So, to ensure your reviewers can see all attachments, you'll need to grant these reviewers read access at the project level. This won't give them actual read access to the entire project (as reviewers don't even have the Project tab), but it will allow reviewers to open up attachment links included in a review item.
Hope this helps! And do let us know if there are further questions about this.
Thank you!

Hello, I am attaching an excel spreadsheet as a link in the description field but the reviewers are still unable to open it and see the contents of the file. Has this been resolved?

We would like this feature as well (links and attachments). Right now, we struggle to explain to users that they can use the Links/Attachments attributes, but must copy the link into the description for it to be visible in Review Center.

Hello,
It would be good if a reviewer / approver can open an attachment attached to a reviewed item during the review. At this moment it is not possible to display / open the attachment that is related to the reviewed items in the review view. You have to open the review and in parallel to open the item to see attached files. This is not a request to review attached file but to see what it in the attached file. E.g. if the requirement or test cases are properly defined following a standard or screenshot mock-up etc.
Thank you for considering this idea
