Image Types

Introduction

Image Types allow you to categorise images attached to stock items. This makes it easier to identify the purpose of each image and helps maintain consistency across your product records.
Image Types are used within the Stock | Detail | Internet / Telesales screen. When adding images to a stock item, you can select an Image Type from an F4 lookup list populated by the types defined here.

Supported Image Formats

Khaos Control supports the following image formats:

Best Practice

  • Use consistent Image Type names across your system.
  • Create separate Image Types for different purposes, such as web images, brochures and high-resolution downloads.
  • Use meaningful descriptions so users can quickly identify the correct image when maintaining stock records.
  • Check that image files are saved in a supported format before uploading.

Additional Information

Image Types are available to all stock records and can be selected when managing images in the Stock | Detail | Internet / Telesales screen. Categorising images correctly can help improve data quality and make image management more efficient
