• You must have the Transaction Services product.
• You must have the Web Configure Transaction privilege.
• This procedure assumes you have already created attributes and metrics
to place on the widget. The widget is used to store information about the
images before they are uploaded and must contain a placeholder row of
data for each image you want to upload. The data in these rows is updated
when users upload images. The following attributes and metrics must be
created:
One attribute that contains the following attribute forms:
Note

saved. The values may be blank or placeholders, and are updated
with new paths when users upload images.
– The second attribute form contains a description of each image, as
provided by the user.
– The third attribute form (optional) contains a unique numeric ID
of each image that the user uploads.
the following:

maximum number of images users can upload. For example, if

• To choose the attribute forms displayed for an attribute in the
widget, right-click the header of the attribute, point to
Attribute Forms, then select the attribute forms you want to

– The first metric is used to indicate whether or not the image has
been uploaded.
– The second metric (optional) contains the sum of the values in the
first metric, and is used to display the number of images the user
has uploaded.
You can provide additional information about an uploaded image by
placing additional attributes and metrics on the widget. For example,
you can add the Store attribute to the widget, and then add a prompt
to the document to allow users to select a store. Users can run the
