Ability to Query on Attachments

We need the ability to query attachments added from webview. Media can be queried but our users upload attachments from their phone to constituent records. It is then lost.

    Very frustrating to have a feature not be searchable, when it can be on an older system, and clearer useful for lots of organisations. Please update this in NXT

    As we this function is currently not available, we are instructing the whole department to only add attachments/media via database view. For 99% of the department, this is the only thing that they access database view.

    Please help us move over to web view!

    We need this function in query to help with our gift aid admin.

    We use attachments on all of our gift records, and we need to be able to see which gift records do not have an attachment, so being able to query on this field is vital.

    Most of our attachments have been uploaded in WV, and it would be nice to be able to search for them with Query!

    We have processes where we are stuck adding attachments in database view, just so that they can be queried on. Webview attachments are easier for frontline fundraisers to use and access, but the ability for them to actually be queried on is critical. Attachments often become historical documents, and the ability to gather them into queries can be very helpful when trying to get a picture of the past (for example, trying to gather all past gift agreements made during a certain timeframe when planning for a campaign, or reviewing how a past one was handled).

    Please. Just that the most annoying call with support to explained that the system works as designed... So why does info not sync from webview to database view but the only place I can query on attachments is the database view?!

    Looking for a query that shows 'missing' attachments.

    This would be a huge help, especially when searching for fund attachments.

    This is a big problem for us! We can no longer check whether a record has attachments because queries only pull up those that were added in database view. This is a BUG!

    We need this feature to be able to find constituents with attachments to ensure they are properly backed up. You added the attachment tags, now add some way to group them/find them!
