Media Type

Use this field to specify the Internet media type (formerly MIME, or Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) to be associated with files of that document type or media type when attached to an email message. This value suggests to the email client how to present the document, either in-line with the message body, or when previewed or opened (for example, image/jpeg or application/pdf). This media type can be overridden at the Document Object level, and, for suspended documents, further changed at the Event Document Object level.

When used as part of a transaction involving the application event system, this type is specified as part of an Attach or Update document action on the Event Action Attach form.

On the Event Action Attach form, the contents of this field must use this syntax:

scalarExpression

where scalarExpression is or resolves to one of the values listed above.

When you click OK to return to the Event Actions form, the system "wraps" this content within a DOCMEDIATYPE( ) parameter, which yields this final syntax:

DOCMEDIATYPE(scalarExpression)
