What you are asking for is to have the "parent" keep count of how many children records. So in each Issue BO you would like to know the # of pictures and documents.
Aware can do the heavy lifting for you and the plus is you can then conditionally display or ?? depending on the # of records. To do this:
1) Create 2 new attributes in the Issues BO. NoOfPictures and NoOfDocuments (set them both to calculated so no one can ever edit them)
2) Create 2 new rules in the Issues BO to always update this For example for the pictures:
IF Pictures WAS ADDED TO Issues.ob_Pictures THEN INCREASE Issues.noOfPictures BY 1
IF Pictures WAS REMOVED FROM Issues.ob_Pictures then REDUCE Issues.noOfPictures BY 1
There are other ways to do the rules, by using a COUNT Function. So this is just one way to write the logic, but you now have 2 fields you can use to display any fancy way you want. (i.e. using a HTML cell to customize the display).
