The Media tab is used to display an button to those features where the attribute record stores JPEG photo, that is associated with the selected feature. The file name and the path of the digital JPEG image is stored in a field associated with the selected feature’s geometry. A feature can have multiple JPEG photos associated with it, but each photo file name needs to be stored in a unique field or in a related child table.

 

The associated photo can be changed by either tapping on the file name on the Record dialog to open the Document panel > Start Digital Camera button for capturing a new photo or by using the Open document button to choose an existing photo on your device.

 

The Media tab contains the following controls:
