Style Images
Images & Files
Retail Inventory styles, Rental Styles, Customers, Custom Fitting tickets, Returns, Cleaning & Repairs (RCRs) forms support attaching files and images.
JPG JPEG, BMP, PNG, DOC, DOX, TXT and PDF file types are supported.
Images in Image slot 1 will display within a form's search grid for that data. Retail Inventory style images store in a style's Image Slot 1 will display on a customer's sales ticket when the style is entered onto the ticket.
Images may be imported into the system in three ways:
- From the local computer / smartphone / tablet - Upload image/file option.
- From a website image url - navigate to an image on a website and obtain it's url, then paste into a empty Image URL slot
- From a webcam camera attached to the station - Upload from Camera option
Tip: When running the EB app within a tablet or phone browser selecting the Upload image/file option will allow the User to select an existing picture on device or take a photo and upload. Select the camera source to activate the camera. When taking a photo to upload, the phone must be held sideways (Landscape) when taking the photo. Otherwise the camera photo will be rotated when being saved to the system. If the phone camera allows a selection of ratio for the photo, select the 1:1 ratio which will create a square photo which looks nice when saved.
Upload Image/File ... Choose a supported file type file from the computer's hard drive to attach. The Image / File will be saved into the first empty slot. A image/picture stored in Image/File URL slot 1 will display in the Inventory / Customer / Fitting / RCR search grids. Once a local file is selected, the SAVE button must be clicked for the image to be uploaded and thumbnail to appear.
Upload from Camera ... This option will activate a webcam camera attached to the desktop PC/MAC allowing the user to capture and save the camera photo. This function will store the image into the first empty Image URL slot.
Image URL 1 - 6 ... Up to 6 image/files URLs may be attached onto the form record and when done, a thumbnail of the image will display next to the slot.
Note: The process is fast to insert a image via a website URL. Copy & then Paste a Image URL (like from the vendor's website) to a empty slot and upon saving the form, the image is copied from the website URL and stored in our database.
When on a website displays the Image menu on a PC by Right Clicking on the website's image and selecting copy image address. Then Paste the copied URL into the EB system Image URL slot. Most websites allow you to copy the image address, but unfortunately not all.
Occasionally a website URL copied has custom code / parameters which inhibits the system from discerning the image's file name. In this case the Everywhere Bridal system will just save the URL as is and not attempt to copy the image to our DB. This is not optimum since the website image may change over time and the URL stored in our system will not work. Sometimes you can manually remove the extra parameters within the URL so the file name may be located. All image URLs saved to our DB will begin with:
https://storage.googleapis.com/bblcloudpos/
FYI: Some forms allow for only 4 image/file attachments and do not offer attached webcam image uploads (phones and tablet image capture via camera is supported) . These forms are Fittings and RCR. Rental Styles form supports two image only attachments.
eCommerce Export: When eCommerce integration is active, the system will export the image URLs from the Retail Inventory styles marked for eCommerce upload. These images will display to online shoppers.
Note: The Rental Styles form currently supports two image URLs. On a Jim's import the Jim's images will be automatically inserted.
