Attachment Best Practices - MEPs, IP Lists, Network Risers


Every myMSI project includes an attachments tab. This tab allows you to store various project collateral, information and documentation so that it can be referenced later. The attachments tab allows you to upload any file type and set an unlimited number of folders in which to organize the documentation.

Here is a starting guide of what we find to be the best way to organize our attachments:

Folders:
