Attaching files from the server to agent response

Hi, First, I apologize for the flood of ideas I have. I just recently installed OTRS on our server and I find it terrific. I would like to suggest the option of attaching files from the server, not using http upload, but from a common repository (like documents, patches etc). the reason for this is that our server and HQ are geographically remote and bandwidth is OK, but not terrific. having to attach the same things over and over again is a waste of bandwidth. I know that you can make a "response" with the file attached. this has two cons: 1. if the repository updates frequently, you have to remember to update the emails as well 2. if there are many files that can be attached, in many combinations the number of messages will be overwhelming. Thanks for the great software, Moshe

I think you are looking for default attachment!? You can define default attachments for each response. AgentFrontend -=> Attachment (add some attachments) -=> Responses (you will have attachments to select) You will have "default" attchements on compose screen (from the otrs repository). And you still have the other option to attache a attachment via http upload. Is is what you want?
