Which document to preview


Forum|alt.badge.img+4

Hi,

As I understood a document is previewed when it is the first column found in the table. Although in most situations this would suffice, I wonder if it is possible to have this be the first visible column in the table (i.e. based on the subject and layout procedure)?

We already have all our documents (i.e. renditions) in a separate table, but within a document/rendition record we provide the possiblity for different storage options: cloud (Azure) or on premises (fileshare) which are based on different domains referencing their respective store definition. Based on the configuration of the system we want to show the cloud column or the share column. This can even be specified on the rendition type of the document (active documents in de cloud, archived documents on a share or vice versa). In any case, only one of those columns is visible at any time.

Any thoughts in how this could be realized?

@Robert Wijn 2 Currently this is not easy to achieve. ​@Freddy did suggest a workaround here, which you might get working in your scenario using a Context procedure to determine which Variant to show: How to preview multiple files that are stored in a table? | Thinkwise Community

I can imagine that an easier, supported feature would be more helpful. Could you please raise an Idea so we can assess the Community’s interest in such a feature?
