Hi mates,

I've built a report which works well but I want to improve one part. The report's behavior is Projects.

In our workflow, a report is printed for each project. Each project refers to one different picture. So which source should I choose to be able to print each time a different picture located on the hard disk?

Here are the sourcesn I can choose in the Report part:
- Static
- Path from key
- Absolute path
- Image from key
- Named
- Mapped Name

It is not a problem for me to name manually or with a script the picture I want to see in the report. So the way to the picture will be always the same and the name of the picture too.

Does anyone have a solution?

I hope my request is clear enough... Sorry I'm not a native speaker...
Don't hesitate to ask questions!

You can do this by using a 'pre-extraction' script in the Image element.

In the pre-extraction script do something like this:

"this gets first parent report data object that has an attributed called name"
"the name of a project is identified by the name attribute"
project_name := element valueForKeyPath:'name'.

the_full_path_to_the_image := <build the full path based on the name from the object - see f-script guide>.

element setTypeCode:3.
element setImageSourceKey: the_full_path_to_the_image.

The type code is important as it identifies that the image source key is a full path and not something else.

NOTE: these are private calls and while we will most likely not change these, we reserve the right to in the future.
