UI Guide Menu
Overview
- When adding or editing the following topics, Suspect and Investigator, you can add a picture to help identify the topic. This picture is from the file system, not a loaded media, and can be easily changed the appropriate (Dialog) Form.
- A new request has come in to add a picture to the Media topic. A database migration will be needed to do it properly. A workaround can be done but it'll add a lot of technical debt.
The Two Paths to Loading an Image
- Here are how the data is shaped into a model and flows through the applications. For the most part, the models(code) match the database schemas(tables).
Standard Model and Flow
- Here are how the current Models are and how the data flows from the UI to the database and back. It's pretty straightforward and standard between the different topics.
- The image is stored in the database as bytes. The image is easily created, updated, and retrieved. Only one table is affected and the code Model matches the table.
Workaround Model and Flow
- Here is how the proposed workaround will work. It's somewhat complex and requires that the image be a loaded media. In this implemention, at least 4 database tables will be utilized.
