16.8.2 Posting Multiple Break Room Photos

Post multiple Break Room photos by staging uploads, tracking titles, previewing them, and saving them together.

The Break Room page in the Woods HR app lets users post multiple photos at a time and assign titles to the set of pictures they choose. The solution combines an Image Upload page item with:

• Temporary image storage in APEX_APPLICATION_TEMP_FILES with End of Session retention
• "Sidecar" collection to store uploaded image titles, keyed by unique uploaded file name
• EBA_DEMO_WOODSHR_TEMP_PHOTOS view joining temporary uploads and titles together
• Interactive Grid, based on the view, to preview uploaded images and add associated titles
• EBA_DEMO_WOODSHR_FILE package containing related application logic.

• Configuring Multiple File Image Upload
  Configure an Image Upload item to stage multiple photos in APEX_APPLICATION_TEMP_FILES until the session ends.
• Experiencing Post Multiple Photos Flow
  Walk through the multi-photo posting flow, from selecting images to adding titles and posting them.
• Using a Collection to Capture Image Titles
  Use a session-scoped collection to store titles for uploaded images by their unique temporary file names.
• Joining Collection with Temp Files Table
  Join APEX_APPLICATION_TEMP_FILES to a collection on unique file name to process uploaded images with additional information related to them.
• Preparing and Saving Images with Titles
  Preview the multi-file upload flow that stages images in a collection before saving them.
