Viewing Advanced Media Object Attachments

You can view most and download many types of attachments. OLE attachments are visible in the Attachment Manager but cannot be viewed nor downloaded. Some audio and video formats are also supported. When viewing attachments using the Advanced Media Objects functionality, you can:

  • View images such as .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .bmp, and .png attachments. The size of the image is based on the available viewing space.

  • View URLs on your screen.

    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.

  • View videos, such as .mov, and .mp4 files.

  • Listen to audio, such as .mp3 and .wav files.

  • Download all types of attachments, including editable text files. If you cannot view an attachment, download the attachment to your local machine to view it.

  • Starting with Release 9.2.4.4, you can download multiple attachments at one time. The multiple download feature is not supported for the following attachment types: URL, Link, and OLE.

Starting with Tools Release 9.2.8.2 you can create a CafeOne layout to view media object attachments. Refer to "Viewing and Using Attachment Content on a Layout (Tools Release 9.2.8.2)" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Composite Application Framework (CafeOne) User's Guide.

To view files:

Within Attachment Manager, right-click the attachment you would like to view and select View or click the attachment. The system displays the attachment that you selected.

Note: You can only view certain attachment types. If the View option is not available, you can download the attachment to your local machine to view it.

Starting with Tools Release 9.2.8.2, you can view additional media object attachments inline. To view the media object attachments, access a form with Advanced Media Objects option enabled. Select a record and click the attachment icon. In Attachment Manager, search for the attached file type that you want to view inline. Click the required file from the search results and the content is displayed. The additional files you can view have .pdf, .jpe, .jfif, .m4v, .log, and .txt extensions. HTML tags found in log or txt files are rendered as plain text.

To download files:

  1. From the row header of a record, click the paper clip button to open the Attachment Manager side panel.

  2. (Optional) Search for the file or files you want to download by using the Search field and then sort the files. See Finding Advanced Media Object Attachments.

  3. Select the file or files you want to download. You can select the file or files by selecting the check box displayed next to the attachments. To select all the files that are displayed, select the Select all check box (Release 9.2.4.4).

  4. Perform either of the following actions:

    • To download a single attachment, right-click the attachment that you would like to download and select Download. Alternatively, if you selected the check box displayed next to the attachment, click the Download selected attachments icon, and then click OK in the confirmation dialog box (Release 9.2.4.4).
    • To download multiple attachments, after selecting the check boxes displayed next to the attachments, click the Download selected attachments icon and then click OK in the confirmation dialog box (Release 9.2.4.4).

The system downloads the attachment or attachments to your local machine.

Note: The Download selected attachments icon is enabled only if you select at least one of the attachments by selecting the check box next to the attachment (Release 9.2.4.4).
