Deny file attachment in capsule workspace

Jonathan — Wed, 02 Nov 2022 13:43:07 GMT

Hi,

We're using Capsule Workspace on employees mobile phones, mainly for emails.

Is there a way to block users from attaching files from their phone when creating new emails on the app?

Thanks

Please review "sk109760: Capsule Workspace Document Control Feature" and see if it helps you.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the SK.

If I understand correctly, the part in the SK that could help me is this one:

Accept protected files with these extensions from external apps	key_00150_accept_protected_extensions	Describes which extensions can "enter the boundaries" of Workspace. This holds only for Capsule Docs protected files.	Comma separated extensions (see explanation below)	$all
Accept unprotected files with these extensions from external apps	key_00160_accept_unprotected_extensions	Describes which extensions can "enter the boundaries" of Workspace. This holds only for files not protected by Capsule Docs.	Comma separated extensions (see explanation below)	$all

and theoreticaly just need to leave these fields blank?

I noticed I didn't see any uninstall instruction, in case it messes things and I want to remove it.

Do you know perhaps?

Make sure this value is set to "none"

key_00160_accept_unprotected_extensions

Hi Chris,

I'm just now getting to this...

I don't see any roll back/uninstall instructions in the SK.

Can you advise please?

My assumption is you should capture the current/default state of those attributes and return to those if needed, if you need confirmation of this please contact TAC for an official statement.

How do I capture the current state of those attributes if they only exist after the implementation of this SK?

The SK notes the default values... $all

You can obviously also take your usual snapshot/backups if deemed necessary.

Just to update I implemented according to the SK and it works great!

Thanks
