Attachments in Reports

Hardik Bhatt

Hello All,

Is it possible to show attachments links in Metastorm reports?

Also, how to evaluate the DMS links to sharepoint.

Thanks!

I haven't done it myself, but I think it is possible to do.  You'll need to build the URL for attachments as a variable inside the business object used on the folder.  The URL isn't officially documented/supported, but it should be something like:

 

http:///Metastorm/ReadAttachment.ashx?AttachmentFile=&AttachmentOwner=&AttachmentType=Folder

 

You can then use the URL as a static hyperlink on the report.

Looking at the URL posted (and removing the http bit to make it easier to read), you just need to put in the attachment file name and folder id:

 

/Metastorm/ReadAttachment.ashx?AttachmentFile=&AttachmentOwner=&AttachmentType=Folder

 

the file name is held in the variable associated with the attachment for single attachment fields. If you use multi-attachment fields, things will get more complicated.
