Question on: Octave Reliance (ETQ Reliance)
[attachment limits](/discussions/25093-attachment-limits)

In ETQ reliance in an attachment field is there a size limitation or file extension type?

I think the size restriction is more based on the amount of space in your file server than Reliance's limitation on attachments.

Answered: Eric Hudgens on July 28, 2020

I have attached multiple types of documents. Word, Excel, Visio, PowerPoint, JPEG and many others. We have several very large documents and have not had an issue loading them into Reliance.

Answered: Terri Carriere on June 4, 2020

I agree we haven't seen any size limitations for plain attachment fields. There are several Office Integration Templates available that will extract information into the record of your ETQ modules. If you are extracting a lot of data that may impact performance. I also know it's not best practice to store let's say videos as attachments in general and I think that also applies here.

Question on: Arena PLM & QMS
[Can this PLM bring the data and drawings straight to the production lines so we can digitize the production lines and remove the paper?](/discussions/can-this-plm-bring-the-data-and-drawings-straight-to-the-production-lines-so-we-can-digitize-the-production-lines-and-remove-the-paper)

We need a PLM to bring the data and drawings to the production lines to digitize the production lines and remove the paper

Andrea, Thanks for your inquiry. PLM does allow us to provide electronic access for documents, drawings, bills of materials (BOMs), and other product information to production lines and supply chain partners. If you would like to learn more, please email Mark Hudson via email at mhudson@arenasolutions.com. Best regards, Scott

Question on: Arena PLM & QMS
[Would it be possible for Arena to implement this simple feature?](/discussions/would-it-be-possible-for-arena-to-implement-this-simple-feature)

The feature would be that Arena automatically lets you know of the next part number for the respective part category. This would be helpful for when items are imported into Arena via excel spreadsheets. On the other hand, it would be neat if Area could automatically populate the items with new P/Ns upon importing them into the system.

Thanks Jahan. This is on Arena's product roadmap. If you would like to discuss further, please contact your Arena account representative and they can share more information from our product team.
