BosqMap linked photograph and document settings
The photograph and document settings are essentially the same, with the exception that for documents there is no specification for the default file location.

Both photos and documents have tick boxes for the administrator to decide whether to allow users to attach and view photos and files and whether or not the files are cut or copied from their original location.
Photos and documents associated with a table are stored in the same folder (BosqMap copies or cuts the files and renames them) and if the location is relative to the table location i.e. if the table file is located at:
C:\Documents and Settings\BosqMap\tabfile.tab
And the photo/ document folder is located at:
C:\Documents and Settings\BosqMap\photographs\
Then the administrator will be prompted to confirm whether or not they wish to reference the full path of the folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\BosqMap\photographs\]
or the relative path
\photographs\
For photos the administrator can set the default camera location (useful for surveyors).
The Change Exp. Button
is used to change the photo and document expressions. This is very similar to the multi-display expression dialog box. Thus the following settings:

Will display the following display document dialog:

Whereby the ‘.col1’ part of the expression refers to a column and the /_document is text (i.e. documents will be named ‘country column entry’ followed by an underscore and ‘document’ so Documents associated with Germany would be named ‘Germany_Document_X.doc’). More than 1 column can be used to reference files (although it is recommended that no more than 2 columns are used)
Most common picture file types are supported as photos and all file types for documents. Photos and documents are displayed in the default windows application for that file type as set on the machine.
