Copying attachments to a Lotus Quickr place

You can copy files you already have as attachments to a place, without replacing the attached files in your mail file or in another IBM^® Lotus Notes^® application.

You can open any mail message or other IBM Lotus Notes document and save the attachments in it to a IBM Lotus Quickr place, available for sharing with other users. It is not necessary to replace the attachments with links to the place if you need to retain them for further work.

Attachments are saved to your default place location. You can change the location where they are saved for this procedure only, or you can change the default location in preferences.

To copy the attachments to a place without removing them from the Lotus Notes document, perform the following steps:

Open an existing document, such as a message in your mail, that contains attachments you want to save to a place.
Select any attachment in the document, right-click, and select Save to Lotus Quickr Place. A list of attachments in the current document appears.
By default all attachments are selected. Deselect check boxes for any attachments in the document that you do not want to save to the place.
Deselect Replace attachments as links.
Optional: To change to a location other than your default place, click Change Location. If you have access to more than one place, you see their names in the list. Select a place and a folder and click Select.
Click OK to copy the files to the place.
