Environment

PolicyStat

Procedure/Resolution

Some files are not independent policies, but also are not associated with a parent document. In PolicyStat, these files can become stand-alone attachments called "stub" policies.

Examples of stub policies can include the following types of files if they do NOT associate with a parent document:

• Excel forms or log sheets
• Form letters or memos in Word of PDF format
• PowerPoint Presentations
• Any other file format that does not associate directly to a parent document.

When a user clicks a stub policy, the content of the policy reads simply: “Please see the attached file.”
