Is attachment viewer the only way to view an attachment in a web app??

[hjhutchinson]

I am trying to make a dashboard that would show a picture of an attachment when the point is selected but it looks like the only option for this is with the attachment viewer app which is not configuarble? Is there a widget I am missing? I have found some posts where others have requested it just not sure if this had been solved yet or not.

How are your attachments stored?  In a blob field in a geodatabase?  File based?

[hjhutchinson]

They are .jpgs that were added through a field maps

How about created a virtual directory on the your IIS server and point your popups at that to view the jpegs associated with a feature?

ok i think i know what you are saying, i'm not super well versed in everything. i was hoping there would be a widget in the dashboard app for the attachment.... Thanks for the suggestion!

Dashboards do this - click on a point, see the photo in the popup - assuming the attachment you are referring to a a photo
