OrgPlus 6 - Photo Manager
OP-0600-S1106

Summary:

This article describes how to place pictures in box fields using the Photo Manager. Pictures added using Photo Manager can be synchronized with the original data source.

Procedure:

With your chart open, select Photo Manager from the Data menu.

Note: If the chart has no Picture fields you will be prompted to add a Picture field. Select Add Field to all the boxes if you want a new Picture field to be added to all the boxes in your chart. Click Yes to continue to the Photo Manager.

Define your settings as follows:

Choose photo column: Select a destination field. Only fields of type Photo are listed.

Target location: Select the source location of the photo files (Disk/Network, FTP or HTTP). Enter the path or use the browse button to specify a location.

Note: You can specify whether to embed or link picture files to your chart. Linked files result in a smaller file size; however, if you share your OrgPlus file with other users they may not have access to the linked picture files.

Photo Generator: Specify the naming convention used to name the source pictures files:

Photo Field: Select a field to be used to generate the source picture file names. For example, source files can be named according to the contents of the Name field or the Title field.

Name template: Select how the picture file name should be constructed. For example: if a field has the name Adam Smith, selecting:

• Last.bmp generates Smith.bmp.
• First.bmp generates Adam.bmp.
• FLast.bmp generates ASmith.bmp.
• FirstL.bmp generates AdamS.bmp.
• FirstLast.bmp generates AdamSmith.bmp.

File type: Select the file type from the drop-down list.

Import photos up to level: Select the number levels for the photo manager to import.

Click Generate to match boxes in the chart with picture files from the source. The results of this action are shown in the table at the bottom of the dialog box. The symbol indicates that a match was found. The symbol indicates a missing photo.

Note: Selecting a row in the table shows a preview of the picture that corresponds to that row.

Click the Photo Size tab if you want to change the default scale, size and alignment before importing each picture.

Note: Performance may be impacted if you import large photos into your chart. It is recommended that you create smaller versions of photos before importing.

Click OK to import the photos into your chart.
