This article describes the formula syntax and usage of the GetItemAttachments function in JungleDocs.

Description

Retrieves item attachments from a SharePoint list.

Syntax

GetItemAttachments()

Within the content control with the GetItemAttachments function, you can use additional content controls with the following functions:

AttachmentFileName

Returns the attachment's file name.

AttachmentUrl

Returns the attachment's URL address.

Image(attachmentUrl)

Displays the image attachment and has the following arguments:

• AttachmentUrl Required. The URL address of the attachment.

Hyperlink(attachmentUrl; attachmentFileName)

Displays the link to the item attachment and has the following arguments:

• AttachmentUrl Required. The URL address of the attachment.
• AttachmentFileName Required. The link title.

Remarks

• The GetItemAttachments function works only within a repeated section.

• Since only list items can contain attachments, and documents cannot, the function will not work with SharePoint libraries.

Example

To retrieve attachments in reports

1. Create a table with a repeated section.

2. Select the table and insert a Rich Text control. Then, open control properties and enter GetItemAttachments() in the Title and Tag fields.

3. Select a table cell and insert a Rich Text control inside. Then, open control properties and enter AttachmentFileName or AttachmentUrl in the Title and Tag fields.

To display image attachments

1. Create a table with a repeated section.

2. Select the table and insert a Rich Text control. Then, open control properties and enter GetItemAttachments() in the Title and Tag fields.

3. Insert a picture control in the table cell where you want the image to be displayed.

4. Open control properties and enter Image(AttachmentUrl) in the Title and Tag fields.

To retrieve attachment links

1. Create a table with a repeated section.

2. Select the table and insert a Rich text control. Then, open control properties and enter GetItemAttachments() in the Title and Tag fields.

3. Insert a Rich Text control in the table cell where you want the link to be displayed.

4. Open control properties and enter Hyperlink(AttachmentUrl; AttachmentFileName) in the Title and Tag fields.

5. Add hyperlink formatting to the control (otherwise, the hyperlink will adopt a plain text format).
