General Description

Displays an uploaded image. Any image file type can be uploaded to a maximum of 1GB. The image size can be constrained by setting the height and width properties; otherwise the image will be displayed at its original size. Alternatively, the image file can be referenced from a Smart Folder. If the image referenced in the Smart Folder changes, the displayed image will also change.

Field Options

• SmartFolder ID: This is the reference to the SmartFolder where the image is stored. (Only used if image is stored in a SmartFolder)

  • Always Display: Field will be exposed both before and after the record is saved.
  • Hide on New Record: Field will be hidden until record is saved.
