Images

This topic defines how to deal with images in update.CRM web.

The Images page of CRM.Designer allows you to "register" images in the CRM.Designer database by specifying a logical and physical name. These images can then be included in table captions, headers, buttons, used for catalog values, etc.

On the CRM.Designer main page in the Administration area, click the Images button to open the Images page.

A list of all available images is displayed:

To add/change images in Aurea CRM.Web:

  1. Create the image as PNG.
    Depending on where you want to use an image, the following image sizes are required:
    32x32 px "normal" size - used in the navigation bar and in extended page headers
    16x16 px s small - used by header buttons and icons
    14x14 px xs extra small - used by menu items
    The image sizes are specified by "decorators" in the file name (example - myimage-s.png is the small version of myimage.png). For more information on image naming” see the article “Image Naming Guidelines” at https://support.aurea.com.

    If a required image size does not exist (example - -s for a button), the image is not displayed. Therefore make sure you add at least the -s and -xs version of your custom images.Depending on where you want to use an image, the following image sizes are required:

  2. Copy the files to the required location (..\images\<theme>). For further details, see  Customizing Styles.
    Note: To display new images in CRM.Designer as well, copy them to the ..\web\images\<theme> directory of CRM.Designer.
  3. Register the image in CRM.Designer:

    1. On the Images page in CRM.Designer click (Edit) beside the image or create a new one.
    2. Enter the Filename.
    3. You can define a Label for an image that is then displayed on mouse-over.
    4. Click Save.
      Note: You only have to register one version (i.e. size) of your custom image. The -s, -xs etc. versions are then applied automatically.
  4. Assign the image to the desired configuration unit(s).
    Note: To display your new images in Aurea CRM.Web you need to delete the .sprites folder in ..\images. Furthermore, the users may have to clear their browsing history.
Note: To display images for a record (example - a person's photograph), you do not need to register them on the Images page. These images need to be uploaded in the Aurea CRM database instead. They can be displayed in any document field with the Image field attribute checked. For further details, see  Image.
