MOBILE CAMERA SNAP INTO

This action opens a camera on a mobile device that the user logged in from, allows the user to take a photo and then writes the result into the specified Picture attribute of the specified business object. Note that this action can only be used in native mobile applications – it will not work in a browser.

Syntax

MOBILE CAMERA SNAP INTO AttributeIdentifier()[ WITH StringLiteral() = StringLiteral() (, StringLiteral() = StringLiteral())* ]

where AttributeIdentifier is the identifier of the attribute to write the result into (the attribute must be of the Picture Type).

Example

MOBILE CAMERA SNAP INTO MyObject.MyPictureAttribute
