The Multimedia module gives you a centralized registry of media files used by the institution. Each record stores a reference to a file on the local file system along with a human-readable name and description, so administrators can quickly locate and identify institutional content.

​
Data model

Each multimedia record stores four fields: 
public class MultimediaItem
{
    public string ID { get; set; }              // Media ID (e.g. M01)
    public string NombreProyecto { get; set; }  // Project/content name
    public string Ruta { get; set; }            // File system path to media file
    public string Descripcion { get; set; }     // Description of the content
}
FieldDescriptionExample
IDUnique identifier for the media recordM01
NombreProyectoName of the project or content this media belongs toVideo Institucional
RutaAbsolute file system path to the media fileC:/Media/Institucional.mp4
DescripcionShort description of the contentVideo de presentación.

​
Specifying file paths

The Ruta field accepts an absolute Windows file path pointing to the media file on the local machine or a network drive accessible from the machine running AppAdministrativa.
Organize media files in a dedicated folder (e.g., C:/Media/) before adding records. Consistent path conventions make it easier to relocate files and update records in bulk if the storage location changes.
AppAdministrativa stores the path as a string reference — it does not copy or embed the file. If you move or rename the file after adding the record, you must update the Ruta field manually to keep the reference valid.

CRUD workflow

1

Open the Multimedia module

Select Multimedia from the sidebar. The table lists all registered media records with their ID, project name, file path, and description.
2

Add a media record

Click Agregar. The AgregarMultimediaWindow dialog opens. Fill in the ID, project name, file path, and description, then confirm. The new record is added to the table immediately.
3

Edit a media record

Select a row in the table, then click Editar. The same dialog opens pre-populated with the selected record’s data. Update any field and confirm to save the changes.
If no row is selected when you click Editar, the application shows “Por favor, selecciona un registro de la tabla para editar.” Select a record first before attempting to edit.
4

Delete a media record

Select the record you want to remove and click Eliminar. A confirmation dialog asks:
¿Eliminar ?
Click Yes to permanently remove the record, or No to cancel. This removes only the registry entry — the file itself is not deleted from disk.
