The gallery is added to a work item form by placing an extension element in the form layout. For the procedure, see Adding the Gallery.

​
Attributes

​
mode

grid opens on tiles — a thumbnail per image, an icon per other file. table opens on the list view, which shows the full file name, size, author and date. This sets the initial view only. The gallery’s toolbar lets a reader switch between the two at any time, and that choice is theirs, not a configuration setting.

​
height

Sets the height of the gallery area in pixels. The rendered section is slightly taller than this value, because the surrounding frame adds its own chrome.

​
Placement in the Layout

The extension is an ordinary form-layout element and can go wherever the section belongs. Placing it immediately after the attachments field puts the gallery directly below Polarion’s own attachment table:
Omitting the attachments field entirely gives a form with the gallery alone.

​
One Layout per Work Item Type

Form layouts are per work item type, and the wrong one fails silently.Polarion stores a separate form layout for each work item type. Adding the extension to a layout that the item does not use produces no gallery, no error and no warning — the form simply renders without it.The — Unspecific — layout applies only to types that have no layout of their own, so adding the extension there does not cover a type that has one.Add the extension to the layout of every work item type that should show the gallery.
