==== Upload documents====

It is possible to attach documents to a process instance; for example, to display process-relevant information. These documents can be uploaded and then downloaded and viewed by those who are involved in the process. All types of documents can be uploaded, e.g. PDF, Word-documents, pictures, text files.\\
The documents can be deleted as well. \\
The window where the documents are managed can be reached via the context menu and the appropriate menu item.
