Attaching Images to Items

 

PIM Enterprise makes it easy to attach images to items.

Supported file types for item images are .jpg, .png, .webp, and .gif.

Attaching the Images

Images can be attached to items through the "Attachments/Tags" tab.  This is done by either pasting the path/URL to the image into the field and clicking "Add Image URL" or by using the "..." button to browse your local computer for the image file.  Once you have the specified the location of the image(s), click "Save" near the bottom.

The location for the image will change once you click "Save".  This is because a copy of the original is stored in a location specific to PIM.  The standard location for this is:

\\[GATEWAY SERVER NAME]\PIMRepo\IMAGES

Rearranging Images

Once you have added your Images, you can rearrange the order of the images in the PIM to allow them to display in that order on your website.  Simply drag and drop the images in your list into the order you need and save.  After saving, those images will stay in that order.  They will publish and live push in the order specified as well. 

Detaching the Images

If you no longer want an image to be attached to the item, simply select the image you want to detach and hit the "DEL" key on the keyboard.  Once you detach the image, click "Save" near the bottom.

This will only detach the image from the item. It does NOT delete the file from the PIMRepo folder.  From time to time, you might consider using the "Clean File Repository" feature from the "Tools" menu.  This will remove images or documents from the PIMRepo folders that aren't currently attached to items.
