Create a new image object

When you add a new image object to the docbase, you can add a separate image file for each image format you use and mark that image for translation if appropriate.

1. Click , and then select New Object > New Image.

   If you do not see this option, you might not have the appropriate access to create images. Contact your System Administrator.

   The New Image dialog opens.
2. Click Add.
3. In the resulting file explorer window, browse to and select the image(s) you want to add.

   You can select as many files as you have image formats defined in your configuration. For example, the default configuration defines three formats: LowRes, HiRes, and Source. If you select more files than you have formats, an error message appears and no files are added to the image object.

   The files are added to the image object, each matched to an existing format. For more details, see Defaults for new images.
4. Optional: For each image file, select the correct format if necessary.
   You can only use each format once. If you change a file to use a format that's already in use, an error message appears. This message disappears as you change other files to ensure each format is used once.
5. Optional: If you make a mistake selecting the file, click
   • to import another image file to replace the current one
   • to delete the image format
6. Designate which format is the default.
   This is the format that thumbnails are based on and is the fallback format used for outputs in case the designated format is not available.
7. Click Next.
8. Enter a title for the image.
9. Select a language.
10. Select the image type.
11. If the image requires translation, select the Translation check box.
12. Click Next.
13. Select the appropriate product or library and branch for the new image object.
14. Click Create.
