  • QBinaries - Object to contain pictures, data and ID's;
  • QBinary QBinary - String parameter to contain pictures, spreadsheet, documents, etc;
  • QBinaryID<span class=marin_input>QBinary</span>ID - Picture ID as number or string used to identify, retrieve and present the picture or object;
  • QBackground - Optional default parameter to contain default (background) picture;
  • QNrOfBinaries - Optional parameter to easily add a number of binaries;

In the Dataset of a knowledge base it is now possible to include and manage a set of pictures in the QBinary object as a table of QBinary and QBinaryID<span class=marin_input>QBinary</span>ID records.

Please note that you are not able to see the parameters when you did not select "Show hidden data (toggle Ctrl+H)" in the Modeller tab of the Options window. The reserved parameters are hidden by standard, so while you are adding binaries (are doing KE work), please select this option.

...

Then select QBinaries in the Dataset and do the following:

  • Introduce the QBinary parameter the QBinary parameter in Dataset.QBinaries by dragging QBinary to dragging QBinary to QBinaries of the Workbase (the part left of the tree view);
  • Introduce the QBinaryID<span class=marin_input>QBinary</span>ID parameter in Dataset.QBinaries by dragging QBinaryID<span class=marin_input>QBinary</span>ID to QBinaries of the Workbase (the part left of the tree view);
  • Introduce the QBackground parameter in Dataset.QBinaries (not obligatory) by dragging QBackground to QBinaries of the Workbase (the part left of the tree view);
  • Introduce the QNrOfBinaries parameter in Dataset.QBinaries (not obligatory) by draggingQNrOfBinaries to QBinaries of the Workbase (the part left of the tree view); 

...

Step 3, add content to the QBinary parameter:

First of all, please note that the @BINARY attribute (see the dataslot of the Frame Viewer) in both the QBinary and QBackgroundparameter the QBinary and QBackgroundparameter makes that no data can be typed in their cell values through the keyboard; the only way to input data is through the Workbase right mouse menu Dataset>Include Binary Data. You can select any file to be included in the cell.

...

Moving the cursor through the QBinary cells the QBinary cells will show the binary or a link to the binary in the Explanation browser component (if visible, can be made visible in the View menu), on any other cell, the QBackground binary (or a link to this binary) will be shown. IfQBackgroundis not included in QBinaries, the picture logo.gif in the directory C:\Qnowledge\Quaestor directory will be shown, which can be any image (company logo, etc). If logo.gif does not exist there, the Quaestor Splash screen will be shown, if available, otherwise a blank image is shown.
