Image Manager and how to upload Image(s) in the content editor

The Image Manager allows a user to insert images in a document as well as manage images that were uploaded to the server. 

NOTE: Using the Copy/Paste function to insert images into documents will ultimately produce an error when the Save Section button is pressed.  Click here for more information on the Image Validation.

The Image Manager is divided into 2 panes:

• The Left pane is the Image Explorer (red box), it allows users to perform the following functions:
• Upload new images into folders on the server
• Create and delete folders
• Browse folders and files on a network drive
• Sort uploaded images by name and type
• Delete folders and images
• The right pane is the Image Editor (blue box), it allows the user to perform the following functions:
• Preview previously uploaded images
• Zoom in and out
• Edit the image (IE. Rotate, add text, crop, etc.)
• Display and change properties of the uploaded images (width, height, alignment, etc.)

All of these functions are performed on the SPL application server.

Before an image can be inserted into a document, it must first be uploaded to the SPL Portal server. Once uploaded, the image name and file size will appear in “Filename” column in the image explorer pane.  To upload new images on the web server, follow these steps:

1. Click the [Upload] button on the toolbar of the Image Manager, a new screen will pop up.
2. Click [Select] to select an image from your computer.   A new screen will pop up to allow you to locate the image on your computer that you want to upload.  By default the screen shows 3 file selections but if you want to upload more than 3 files, simply click  the Add button to add more file selections.   Note that only file with the extension of .JPG or .Jpeg can be uploaded.
3. When you have chosen all the images, then click [Upload].
