Attachment feature allows 1 doc to be attached at a time

[softserv]

Hello members,

Currently attachment functionality allows 1 document to be attached at a time. Does AIM allow multiple documents to be selected and attached in a single click?

Yes it does.

The Photo Library sample app shows you how.

Hi Mark,

We have successfully integrated multiple attachment upload feature but the application is throwing message "Object has been changed by another user...................." when Save button is clicked. In our example we are using 2 objects. Parent object has 1 child object as 1 to many relationship in grid format. Once all the documents are selected and attached in one go, then the user clicks on Save button in Parent object form, this informational/error message appears.

Why does the user have to refresh the parent object when it should be handled by default. If we auto refresh the parent object form, then the user is navigated back to top of the form, which is again increasing user activity and thus annoying the user.

Test bsv is below. Password is AwareIM.

Hi Manoj,

It is because you are creating the child records with a process.

In the Auto refresh setting for the Student Form..... Add you MultiUpload process and it will work.

Hi Mark,

The process is in auto refresh of the parent object form already. The parent object in our application has a lot of attributes and so when the process is put in auto refresh, it takes 8 to 10 seconds to get refreshed. During this time period, if user clicks on Save button, then it shows "Object is updated by another user............." message. We cannot put any condition also in the process as it throws an error message as mentioned in one of the other threads in the forum.

Is there a way we can delay the Save button action until form gets refreshed?

Hi Manoj,


I'm interested in this topic too.
Question: Do you use FileSystem storage or DB?
In 8.1 if I upload child records, the permitted file size and permitted extension are ignored.

Did you experience these behaviors ?


Thank you

Hi George,

We are using FileSystem. But we have not set any limitations as such.

you can mask the form to prevent any change until the form finish saving

Masking is already ON.
