Hyperlink in BPM Info Msg - need to display a picture

Epicor ERP 10

I’m writing a BPM to users a heads up when a fixture is available to assist in the manufacture of certain parts.

The existence of the fixture (it’s location, description, and a picture of it) are all available from the Attachments tables.

What I’d like to do is either display a picture of it or provide a link the user can click by using the path to the file.

I can get a hyperlink underlined in blue in the info message (just output http://google.com, surrounding with html tags doesn’t work), but clicking on the link won’t spawn a browser. Any ideas?

use a BPM Data form with a customization, you cannot do this with a simple message box. but it is very much doable withh a BPM Data Form

What would you recommend in the BPM Data Form - I only see the option for Fields or Buttons. Ideally, I’d like an Image object, but I guess I could handle a button click in the BPM and launch a process to view the image… but that seems like a kludge.

What’s the better way? :smiley:

You can customize that form like any other form and use an image box to pull up the image.

Ah - thanks!

Note to self: quit making it difficult.
