Add Image to Document Imaging with No File Director Access

The Add Image icon is located on the Detail Master Case window, the Person Detail window and the Detail Organization window.  It allows user the ability to drag and drop emails and/or attachments or Browse saved files to save the images in Document Imaging. File types that can be saved to Document Imaging include; PDF, Word (DOC, DOCX, DOT, DOTX), Excel (XLS, XLSX) and Images (TIF, TIFF, JPG, JPEG).
