The Attachments column gives you a way to break out where the user can upload different types of attachments. For example, let's say you have someone making a change to their benefits information through the HR Request system. You may need to capture multiple documents (e.g. birth certificate, marriage license, etc) to justify the change in benefits. SharePoint provides an option to attach multiple files, but there is no way to indicate what types of files have been uploaded. The custom NITRO Attachments column gives you a way to specify exactly which documents you want.
Another use case is if you need to request different documents in different situations. Using the example above, you may only want a birth certificate if the user is adding a dependent to their benefits. You only want to show the Birth Certificate Upload button when the benefits change is "Add Dependent." You can do this by using Column Permissions on the NITRO Attachments Columns.
