Item Pictures

Overview:  This explains how to add pictures to item records for use in Item Availability, Price Lists, Tear Sheets, and an integrated Website.

*Note: It is recommended that this procedure be done from the server. If done from a terminal the image quality could be degraded. The system will resize the image (all images are sized with the same width of 640 pixels) for uniformity and optimized for web viewing. In Elite, images larger than 4MB will warn the user, but allow them to proceed.  MakeWeb has a max size of 4MB for a single image to upload to an integrated website.
