Question:
What is Duplicates Skipped when a user add Attachments in Vault PromoMats and Medical?
Answer:
When a user adds an attachment within a document, Vault detects if other previously added files are the same in the targeted document.
If Vault detects a duplicate file, Vault skips the file and the below warning message appears:
The file does not appear in the Attachments section.
The action is not recorded in the Audit Trail of the document affected.
Note: Vault checks only the file name, but not the content of the file added into the Attachments of the same document.
If a user tries to add a duplicate attachment with the same content but renamed it differently, Vault does not prevent the user to add the file.
