This is a backward compatibility setting ignored when Use Workflow Groups = Yes. 

It is recommended to use Workflow Groups instead. Contact Aqilla Support for more information regarding this setting.

This is a backward compatibility setting ignored when using Workflow Groups = yes

External URL Pattern

When using External link attachments, this field allows a definition of a common URL prefix for all external held attachments.

For example, your attachments could be stored as direct links  https://some.external.store/scans/food.jpg and https://some.external.storage/scans/bar.pdf

External URL pattern defines the storage links, without the file names, such as https://some.external.storage/scans

Attachment URLs can then be entered as just food.jpg and bar.pdf.

Should you move your data to another provider, only the external URL pattern will need changing.
