Defining DCD Product Images

Personify supports the upload of multiple images for products and umbrella products. You may want to have multiple images of your product, allowing customers to click on each image to view it in a larger size. This includes a default image and two additional thumbnails, clickable to show alternate images.

Images have a big impact on a consumers' decision to learn more and, ultimately, purchase a product. The time spent taking photos of products and loading them into the system will affect how well your organization's ability to sell products and services is. Additionally, you should provide your photos in the highest resolution possible and Personify will resize them. By default, the system resizes the large image to 250 x 250 pixels and the thumbnail image to 50 x 50. However, this default can be changed by editing the width and height of the "LARGE" and "SMALL" codes defined for the PROD_IMAGE_SIZE system type. For more information, please see Defining System Types and Codes.

This screen will not appear until you have set up eBusiness Control for whatever product you are working on. For more information, pleases see Defining DCD eBusiness Control.

To set up product images:

1.    Expand the e-Business Links task menu and click Maintain Product Images.
The Product Images screen displays, as shown below.

2.    Click Browse to upload an image. You can load up to 3 images per product.
The first image is the Default Image, with two alternate images available for upload. The default image will be the first image that displays. The alternate images will display as two smaller thumbnails that you can click to display as a large image like the default.
The new images will display in the boxes as shown below. If you would like to delete an image, click Clear.

3.    Once you have finished uploading your images, click Save changes.

If no image is set up, a “No Image Available” image will display on your site. Additionally, if you attempt to “Clear” an image that does not exist, you will receive a message stating “No Images Exist."

Images will be renamed in this format once they are uploaded: [productID].Def.[image size].png. This is so that the system can logically place the images where they are desired within the system. "Def" might also be "Alt1" or "Alt2" depending on which image you are uploading. Also, note that Personify will convert the image to .png.
