Attachment Management in Opkey - New UI

The Attachment Management feature helps store the attached file in the opkey domain. Now irrespective if system/user this file will be available in a particular project. In order to use this file for attachment purposes, we can use its path. You can upload a wide range of document formats, including Excel spreadsheets, Word documents, image files, PDFs, etc. 

Once these documents are uploaded, you have the flexibility to incorporate them into your test cases to meet your specific testing needs. This integration enhances the versatility of your testing process, allowing you to work with diverse data sources efficiently. 

For instance, imagine you are conducting software testing for a financial application. You can utilize this feature to upload sample Excel files containing various financial transactions or reports. Subsequently, you can use these uploaded documents within your test case to simulate real-world financial scenarios. 

Let's understand how a file can be uploaded and managed in Opkey.

The uploaded file can be seen in thre attachement management window.

And the same file will be uploaded to the website which we'll automate. We'll copy the file path by visiting the Security tab of the file.

The path copied will also be added to in the website by clicking the Choose File button.

The attached file can be seen on the website. 

Next, we'll create a reusable component and add the GetFilePath keyword to fetch the attached file's path.

From the three dots on the right side, click on the Set data icon.

On the window, click the Data Drive option.

For example, an approver can have the below roles.
