MediaSet: Access the images

matthias_rabus · 2017-04-29

Hi NAV experts,

I'm playing around a with the new MediaSet field (e.g. in the item table) and I would like to use it to add several pictures for an item. This was not that hard as it is well documented in MSDN (See here).

My problem is how to access the items of my MediaSet. I changed the existing Item Picture factbox (Page 346) so that there are two actions to go to the next or the previous picture, but I don't know how I can access the next one. Using the function ITEM of the MediaSet, I just receive the ID but not the image itself.

Does anyone know how to do that? Thank's for your guidance

The MediaSet has some drawbacks. It doesn't delete pictures in the database, when deleting from mediaset, and metadata is not possible.

Instead create a table with 1-n with Item table and add a Media column and metadata columns. Media data type does cleanup the database.
Then you have full control as with any other table you create in NAV.

A new table worked out pretty well, thanks for your guidance
