# Attaching Files

You can upload attachments to apps that will be available for all scenarios within the app or you can upload attachments to a single scenario, which is available for that scenario only.

An app may require that certain app or scenario attachments be provided. These requirements are app-specific and documented by app's author. Files can also be attached for process or workflow requirements. For example, you may want to include an email with information on why you changed a scenario or a file that contains an approval for the change. These types of files have meaning for your app or scenarios, but they do not directly impact the calculations.

Note: Files of some potentially insecure types cannot be used as app or scenario attachments. If you have the Xpress Insight server hosted on-premises, you can configure which file types are allowed. However, the FICO® Platform version of the Xpress Insight server does not allow attachments with the following extensions: `apk, asp, aspx, bat, bin, c, cc, class, conf, cpp, css, dll, exe, gif, iso, java, js, jse, jsp, lib, php, phps, phtml, properties, ps1, rar, rpm, sh, swf, tar, tga, tiff, vb, vbe, vbs, vbscript, war, xlm, xlsm, xltm, xsdt`. The server blocks any import or upload of a repository, app, folder, or scenario that contains any attachments with these extensions. For more on configuring the extension blocklist for an on-premises installation, see Attachment Type Blocklist.
