What is the Attachment element? 

The Attachment element allows you to link files (PDF, MOV, MP4, HTML) to your mobile device's local database or external web content (connection required) within your form.

PLEASE NOTE: You must initially open the form while connected to the internet to open any attachment. Once initially opened, the file will download locally and no internet connection will be required in order to access unless changes are made to the form.
