3. Create the Contact Notes and Attachments SmartObject

In this step you will create the Contact Notes and Attachments SmartObject. This SmartObject stores the "details" content for a contact. Each contact may have several notes and attachments records associated with its header. Header and details records are bound together by a common property, which you will set in a later step.

1. Add the data source that stores the details records for the Contact Management application. Create a SmartBox SmartObject called Contact Notes and Attachments SmartObject. Add the properties shown in the table below.

   Name	Data Type
   ContactID	Number
   Notes	Memo
   Attachments	File

   1. In the Designer, create a new SmartBox SmartObject that stores the details records. Right-click the SmartObjects category and select New SmartObject.
   2. Name the SmartObject
      Contact Notes and Attachments SmartObject
      then select the SmartBox option. Click CREATE.
   3. Click Add and add each of the following properties, then click OK:

      Name	Data Type
      ContactID	Number
      Notes	Memo
      Attachments	File

      
   4. Finish the SmartObject.
