Making Pictures Appear in a Record Window

As with all records in standard HansaWorld Enterprise registers, you will be able to use the Attachments feature with any record in a SmartApps register. Using the [Attachments] button with the paper clip icon in the top right-hand corner of each record window, you can attach files and notes to a record.

If the register is one where it is likely that images will be attached to each record, you can add an area to the record window so you can see any image attachments at a glance (the image attachments must be .jpg files). If a record window contains such an attachment area, the Options menu for the tab on the Nokia E90 will contain extra functions, allowing you to take photographs using the phone's camera. These photographs will be attached to the record automatically.

In the example, we will add this area to a new card 3. Follow these steps:

1. As described on the Adding Cards to a Record Window page, add a fourth "tile" row in the Window Definition, to specify that the record window contains a card 3.
   

   Enter 3 in the Tile column, to specify that the "tile" row refers to card 3, and specify an appropriate Height and a Label for the tab button.
   

2. Under the "tile" row for card 3, add a new row with Type "attachments". With this row, you are defining an area in the record window that will display attachments (usually photographs). You therefore need to position this area using the H and V columns, and specify the size of the area using the Width and Height columns:

This is how the new card will appear:




When you specify the size of the attachment area, there is no need to leave room for the control buttons that accompany it. While these are shown in the test window, the functions will appear on the Options menu on the Nokia E90 when the 'Pictures' card is visible.
