Additional Information

Attachments in the non-production environment are not mirrored with Production
In order to see the same amount of documents in a Test or Train environment, both a Munis refresh and a CM refresh would need to be performed
This is not typical as the amount of space required to duplicate a typical prod environments attachments is great and not recommended
We recommend creating new records and attachments through EERP/Munis for your Test and Train environments to test access and new functionality when possible

You can also export a small set of records and attachments out of one environment and import to another instead of doing a full CM refresh, just be sure a EERP/Munis refresh containing the records has occurred so you can view the documents if needed
