The Landing Page for Image Manager is divided into several sections. The Quick Stats section gives you an “at-a-glance” summary of the Image Categories you are using and a count of the images you have already loaded into each category. The figures below show two examples of the Quick Stats section.
Clicking directly on the Image Category will populate the list at the bottom of the page with all the images that have already been loaded into that Image Category.
The Upload New Image provides the mechanism for adding new images into CommerceCM. You select the Image Category, name the Image, browse to your source image, and then click the Continue button.
Image Categories are configured when your CommerceCM instance is configured by ideaLEVER (and will be particular to your CommerceCM Implementation). Uploading an image to the Product Category will produce a very different effect from uploading an image to a Site Ad category, since product images may have several variants (basket, product detail, large view etc) and generally a Site Ad image has one and only one variant. The Image Name is how the image will be subsequently referenced by other parts of CommerceCM. For example, it might make sense to name product images by their equivalent product name.
The bottom of the page provides a tool to search for images by name (or a portion thereof) as well as the table to list images for review and edit.
