Hi Guys
A couple of the organisation in our consortium have their very own constituent headers and I have been working in making them v12.1 friendly. One of the things we have been struggling with is getting the Worker symbol in the constituent header to appear. I know that they are held within the local resources of Tessitura but haven't been able to work out their names.
In the meantime I have created my very own symbol by putting a very fetching W instead of the brief case. If the user is a worker then this W will magically appear.
I was wondering if any of you guys have managed to insert the worker symbol on to the header?
Thanks
Nick
If you use this file path on an image object in the datawindow, it will resolve in the application for the briefcase image:
Resources\worker.png
Use a Visible expression: if(worker_ind = ‘Y’, 1, 0)
This is, of course, only going to work if worker_ind is returned in the local procedure!

Hey Ryan, I am jumping in on this. We too have custom headers and are having trouble getting the worker icon to display. I did update the custom header procedure to include the worker indicator. The procedure returns the results just fine. I added the worker indicator to the infomaker object in the same position. I did what you mentioned using resources\worker.png and I did make sure the IF statement for visibility is valid, but no worker icon still. Any other suggestions?

You may lack a "p_" object for the worker graphic, i.e. if you look at the sample constituent header, there are a "stack" of overlapping graphics (ind, hhold, org, active, inactive, etc.) in that lefthand location, each with a visibility expression. I don't think that one of these exists for the worker graphic by default (or it didn't in our case). I added one to this stack with the visibility expression Ryan describes above, and voilà... the worker graphic appears for worker constituents.
Hey Chris, I checked and did add one when I updated the header this morning. As a test created another image with the same visibility statement and make some font color changes. No go. I am under the impression that I might have to wait until the changes propagate to all the servers since we are on ramp. I will update this in a few hours. Thanks for the suggestion.
Thanks guys, I didn't realise this was just a brief case symbol, thought this was a whole person image with a brief case. Makes sense now and working (no pun intended!). So all working for me using the "Resources\worker.png" as the file name.
Does anyone know why the people in the household icon have arms but the person in the individual icon seems to be missing their arms. It has always flummoxed me!
Update: With a little patience the icons appeared. I guess it needs 12 hours for changes to be reflected.
Glad you all appear to be sorted. As for naming, there’s no real need for the object to have “p_” as a prefix in this case. That’s just a standard naming scheme that Infomaker applies.
