Change the hyperlink for file attachment to view and download
0%
Description
Current hyperlink for file attachment can cause confusion to some user. They assume the link point to the file and use browser's "Save Link As" on it and not getting what user is expecting.
It will be better for each of the file attachment to display 2 links right away called "View" and "Download" that goes to the appropriate controller.

Inconsistency leads to mistakes...
