Adding documents and images in the media component

The media shown in the component is stored in Infor Document Management(IDM). IDM links are built in the IDM application. To get the IDM link, search for a document and select Enter query manually.

  1. Click the Configure button or hover over the media component and click the Configure icon.
  2. Specify a unique Component ID. We recommend that you specify the Component ID with a Media_ prefix.
  3. Click the General Settings tab, specify the Component Heading. The specified component heading is displayed as the media component heading. To enable the translation keys, enclose the name in <> and do not include spaces.

    See Configuring translations.

  4. Specify the maximum number of documents to show on the media component.
  5. Click the Media Search tab and select Text area.
