Examples and Consequences

In this section, you can study and analyze several different examples showing various use and consequences of miscellaneous settings on the Object Type level.

The following topics have been chosen:

• Assigning Images to Specific Objects

  This example deals with assignment of a specific image for each component type class. Here it is necessary to define an attribute which represents identification of the image for the object type, add this attribute to the object type editor and fill each attribute with an appropriate value representing the image.

• Assigning Images from Attachments

  The next example shows the steps to be followed to have a specific image displayed with each person. As a prerequisite, usable images have to be added to Valuemation resources. To have attachment images displayed with specific business objects, it is necessary to define an attribute which represents identification of the image for the object type, create a calculation which fills this attribute with data taken from the object attachments and create a rule which performs the calculation.

• MultiLine Catalog Customization

  As one of the catalog modes, the MutliLine mode is customized in the Catalog Customizer. However, to display an image in the MultiLine mode, the object type attribute linked to the multiline cell has to be an image attribute.
