Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Search for | Example | Results |
---|---|---|
A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Search for | Operator | Example |
---|---|---|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
Either word in a topic |
|
|
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

JavaScript method: SCFile.insertAttachment( attachObj )
This method creates a new attachment associated with the current file record. Before calling insertAttachment, you must establish a current record using one of the positioning methods, such as doSelect(), getNext(), etc.
Syntax
SCFile_object.insertAttachment( attachObj );
Arguments
The insertAttachment method takes one argument, which is an asttachment object.
The Attachment object must be properly populated prior to calling insertAttachment.
Attachment objects can be obtained via Web Services calls or constructed by JavaScript code.
Required properties
Attachment.name: This is a string containing the name of the attachment, for example, foo.txt or foo.pdf.
Attachment.type: This is a string containing the MIME type of the attachment, such as text/plain or application/pdf.
Attachment.value: This is a binary string containing the actual attachment data. One way to obtain such data is by using the readFile() global method with the binary file format (readFile(path,"b")).
The "href" property of the attachment object should not be set for an insert operation. Any value supplied will be ignored. Attachment ID values are assigned by the server when attachments are inserted or updated.
Return values
If successful, insertAttachment() returns a string of the form cid:xxxxxx containing the attachment ID for the inserted attachment.
Example
This example does the following:
- Creates a new attachment object
- Selects one record from the probsummary table
- Inserts the attachment object to the current record
This example requires the following sample data:
- Record number IM10001 in the probsummary table
var attachmentObj = new Attachment(); attachmentObj.type = "text/plain"; attachmentObj.name = "MyAttachment.txt"; attachmentObj.value = "This is a test text attachment"; var f = new SCFile( 'probsummary' ); var rc = f.doSelect( 'number = "IM10001"' ); var attachmentID = f.insertAttachment( attachmentObj );
