Dear All,
We have a widely used Incoming Invoice process, which manage validation and approval of digitized invoices. We use valueable feature of Attachment Preview on form to show invoice image during some validation/approval steps. (We use other feature for OCR verification) We register invoices as "Invoice" category attachment, but there can be other connecting documents.
On Classis form in Sharepoint it worked perfectly, Preview showed first document (min att_id) which was always the invoice.
As we are switching to Modern form, we realized that in several cases not the invoice pdf is shown in preview panel. (but other attached document)
On Modern form it shows the first element of the first category.
So,
if there is a document not categorized (category=<NONE>), it will be always the first.
If there is a document with category smaller than 'Invoice', it will be the first and shown.
There is a property on form to change order of attachments, but it applies only within groups.
Do you have any idea to overcome this issue? We could rename attachment categories but I do not really like the idea.
My proposal would be to introduce some improvement,
1. add some new properties to form: category for preview
and/or
2. new sort type: attachment id (att_id) order desc
What do you think?
Any ide would be appreciated!
Thank you!
Peter
