Tip

Pictures can also be added by using the drag and drop technique. To make work quicker, you can use a file manager and click on the pictures you want to create links for, hold down the mouse button, then drag and drop over the picture tab.

Tip

The above technique can be used directly from web pages. If you want to add a picture from a website, you can click on the picture in Internet Explorer or other browser then drag and drop it over into the Pictures/Documents tab.

If you have problems uploading certain pictures, it may be that they are in a format which the program does not recognize. You can try opening the picture in the file manager's preview function then save it as a JPEG before trying to upload it once more.

Inheriting Images

When adding Images to Items and Templates, there are certain restrictions on when they will automatically inherit to occurrences and template derivations. The table below explains when images will be inherited or can be added:
