Accessing attached images/ docs from queries and thereby reports
Can we access the images attached for a waypoint in a query? and thereby link a BIRT image object to the image in a report.

Not really. In 4.0.1 there is going to be a waypoint view associated with the query perspective where when you click on a query row, the waypoint view shows you all the details about that incident including the attachments (the last screen shot in this ticket shows an example #1615). However this will not allow you to view the results in a BIRT report.
All attachments are stored in the filestore within the data directory of SMART. If you want you can statically reference one of these images from a BIRT report, but I don't think that is what you are after.

Thanks. But no ,i want to dynamically embed the image associated with a waypoint. So that for instance, you could put images of a poacher into an "Arrest report". This would be possible if the image object was queriable, but it seems that the attachment column in any given patrol aren't able to be queried and so yes, I need to pull them directly from SMART data directory. Thanks
