Adding Advanced Media Object Attachments

Advanced Media Object Attachments work the same way as classic Media Object Attachments. You can add Local, Queue, or URL files.

Attachment types you can add using Advanced Media Object Attachments include:

  • Editable text or eTXT

  • Local Files

    Select multiple files or Drag and Drop multiple files.

  • URL Files

  • Queue Files

To add Local files:

  1. Access the Attachment Manager.

  2. Select the Add icon, and then select File/URL Attachment.

    Select Local File as the Attachment Type.

  3. When you add local files, you can attach multiple files using the Choose Files/Browse button to select the files or you can use Windows Explorer to drag and drop the selected files into the dotted drop area labeled "drop file here".

Note: In Grid View, you can also drop files directly onto the Click or Drop Files target (plus sign), to quickly add them.
Note: When you add files from your local machine, the file extensions must comply with the following two settings for your HTML Server in Server Manager:Web Runtime - Media Object Settings Section --> Invalid Media Object File ExtensionsSecurity - Upload Inclusion Lists Section --> Media Object Extension ListFor more information on configuration group settings for a server, see the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Server Manager Guide.

To add Queue files:

  1. Select the row to which you would like to add an attachment. Then select Row, Attachments, to open the Attachment Manager.

  2. Select the Add icon and then select File/URL Attachment.

    Select Queue as the Attachment Type.

  3. Select the Queue and the File from the drop-down lists, and then click Save.

    If the Preview option is selected, the system opens a window to preview the Queue file. The only files you can preview are images with extensions .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif, and .bmp.

To add URL files:

  1. Select the row to which you would like to add an attachment. Then select Row, Attachments, to open the Attachment Manager.

  2. Select the Add icon and then select File/URL Attachment.

    Select URL as the Attachment Type.

  3. Enter the URL and click Save. The system either opens a new window or pop-up form to preview the URL.

    The system will open a new window based on the Open URL Media Object Attachments in a New Window setting in Server Manager for your HTML Server.

Note: Oracle recommends that URLs are set to display in a new window. An administrator can set this using the "Open URL Media Object Attachments in a New Window" setting within the Web Runtime - Media Object Settings section for the HTML Server in Server Manager.For more information on configuration group settings for a server, see the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Server Manager Guide.
