The following templates support adding attachments:

Attachments can be added at the bottom of the email template editing interface. Email attachments are uploaded on a per survey basis.
To decide if an attachment should be sent on an individual basis it is possible to add a relevance equation to each attachment.
All functions supported by the Expression Manager can be used, as well as token attributes if the survey uses tokens.
In case of a notification or confirmation template it is also possible to use [codes] used in the survey.

- When a file can not be found on the file system, the email will be send without attachment.
- Exporting / importing a survey does not export the uploaded files. The settings for attachments will be maintained, as will the relevance equations.
