    Using Infor Process Designer and LTM.  Need to include an image in the email body.  Where do we store the image? (don't say server - looking for a location.  We are using Windows/SQL Server).

    Also, what is the directory structure that should be used under "Attachments"?  Not sure if , , , etc should be used and the \ / confuse me!

     

    Help!  Thanks!

      Hi cwilliam,

      The image needs to be saved to the server in LASYSDIR/LPS/emailattachments.  

      In the email node Attachments tab, enter the name of the image file (including extension, but no path if in the above folder) in the "Misc:" field and click the arrow to push it to the "Attachments:" section.  

      If you want to use the image as a banner (or wherever on your email), then it must be an HTML email, and you'll need to reference it in the img tag  or div as "cid:imagename.ext" (like "cid:Banner.png")

      If you're wanting to build a folder structure within emailattachments, you'll just have to play with it, but I'd think you'd need to escape the slashes, but I'm not sure how on Windows.

       

      Good Luck

          We are on windows and have to use \\ most of the time when we reference a directory.

          D:\\somedir\\anotherdir\\
