# Attachment Categories

Abstract

Product: **Workbench**

### Configure Attachment Categories

- Attachment categories are the categories candidates select before uploading attachments to their **Talent Records**. Attachment categories are also the categories users select when adding attachments to req forms.
- With the use of Talent Gateways, your company might have elected to use the attachments feature. There are multiple Workbench functions related to the overall management of attachments.
- Candidates can upload their own attachments when they submit their record through a **Talent Gateway**.
- You can designate attachment categories to specific **Talent Gateways**, req folders, and document templates.
- Categories can be translated and modified.
- Attachment categories can be deleted if the category is not mapped to a **Talent Gateway**, req folder, or document template.
- For more information on managing standard Req forms, see [Standard Req Forms with Standard Fields](/v1/docs/standard-req-forms-with-standard-fields)
- For more information on configuring document templates, see [Configure Document Templates](/v1/docs/configure-document-templates)
