# Item Images

**Marlin Tyre and Mechanical Workshop Software** enables images to be added and associated with each item.

To view or edit item images, select **System > Items > Item Images** from the menu bar.

The Item Images window will open on the Search window, showing a list of active item images.

Once associated with an item, images can viewed in the **Item Image** tab of the relevant item master file.

          Tip

          

Item images can also be added from within the Item Image tab, by opening the Item image picklist and pressing **F4** on the keyboard to open the Item Image module in a pop-up window.

## Adding Item Images

#### System > Items > Item Images

To add a new item image, click on the **Add** action button to the top-right of the Item Images Search list.

The Item Image window will open on the **Details** tab, containing a form for adding a new item image.

In the **Name** textbox, enter a name for the new item image.

To add an item image from a website or other online source, copy and paste the item URL into the **URL** textbox.

To add an item image from the hard drive, click on the **Browse** button next to the File Name textbox.

The **Select** pop-up window will open, which can be used to locate and select the image to add to Marlin.

Once selected, the file name of the image will appear in the **File Name** textbox.

A preview of the image will also appear in the right of the **Details** tab.

          Note

          

Only image information can be edited in Marlin. Any editing of the item image itself (such as resizing) must be done using a different program. Item image display sizes depend on screen size and settings, but 500 x 500 px images (in either .jpg or .png format) usually work well.

Leave the **Active** checkbox ticked to enable the new item image within the Marlin system.

To add the item image and return to the Search window, click on the **Save** action button to the top-right of the Items window.

## Adding Item Images to an Item

Once the item image has been added to the Marlin system, open the item's master file in **Edit** mode.

At the top of the module window, click on the **Item Image** tab.

Use the **Item Image** picker to select from a list of active item images to add to the item.

The selected item image will now appear below in the **Item Image** tab.

To attach the item image to the selected item and return to the previous window, click on the **Save** action button to the top-right.

          Tip

          

Item images can also be added from within the Item Image tab, by opening the Item image picklist and pressing **F4** on the keyboard to open the Item Image module in a pop-up window.
