Attachments using OA Framework Personalizations

In the previous article we saw how personalizations were used to embed attachment functionality into standard self service OA Framework pages. In the Part 1, we uploaded attachments against the Employee via "Update Employee page". Lets say that now we want to make those attached documents visible from the Employee search page. We know that every attachment can be identified using an Entity Name and Primary. The entity name in this example is XXFT_EMP_ATTACHMENT. The image below depicts how the attachments from Part-1 exist in the database. The subsequent image shows where the attachments will be displayed when performing search on employees. Effectively in this video demo you will learn the steps for displaying the attachments within a tabular region against each record, by performing OA Framework personalizations.

The first step will be to go to personalization and then add a new item of type attachment image. This new item will be added via personalization to a region that displays records in tabular format. Therefore the attachment item will be created inside the tabular region itself. Each record displayed in this tabular region will have a reference to the Employee Id of that record. The value of the Employee Id can be reference via the corresponding View Object attribute for Employee Id.

For best results, you should view this video in High Definition mode as shown in picture below

First video below is the analysis phase, whereby you analyse where the attachment will be added and which view object attribute will give us the primary key value for Employee Id

The outcome of the analysis phase will be that you will know where to add attachment item within search results table and which view object & attribute can be used to identify the attachment

The second video below shows the actual implementation steps to achieve the desired results.

Attachment type
written by sailaja_rachakonda , March 15, 2011

We have a custom attachment type to be added in the attachment table item apart from standard Text, long Text, URL and File.
How can I achieve this.
