Configuring file types and icons

You can configure which file types are allowed when HR agents or employees attach files to case journals, solution journals, and tasks journals, or the document library. The following table describes which files types are allowed and blocked by default:

Allowed file types

Blocked file types

  • jpeg
  • jpg
  • png
  • gif
  • bmp

exe

When files are attached to a journal of a case, task, or solution, icons are displayed next to the attached files. The icons that are displayed depend on the type of file that is attached. You can modify icons for different types of files.
