Image Files

Image files can be imported into ReadySuite with the Import Image Files wizard.

To import images

1. In the ReadySuite ribbon, click External Data > Folder Data > Import Image Files to open the Import Image Files wizard.



2. On the Import Settings page, enter or select the Data Path for the import.
3. Select the Overwrite Mode to indicate how image files are created and/or uploaded:
• Create Only: Only allows image files to be uploaded to the ReadySuite workspace.
• Overlay Only: Requires image files to match an existing image file in the ReadySuite workspace to be uploaded.
• Create/Overlay: Enables new image files and those matching an existing image file in the ReadySuite workspace to uploaded.
4. Select any advanced import settings you want applied.
• Link Field: Select a field to enable overlaying. By default, the link field is set to DocID* which matches the DocID* column on the Document Grid View. Most useful after an import (merging load files together). The DocID* field always has a value populated in ReadySuite.
• Extension Filters: Select the types of images you want to import.
• Inline Text: If you are importing image files with your load file and you also want ReadySuite to find any inline text files (text filename matching image filename), enable this option.
• Allow Merge: Select to allow images with duplicate IDs to be combined. When cleared, duplicate file names can be imported (recommended).
5. Click Next.



6. On the Import Folders page, view the folder structure for the imported files and select the folders with the image files you want to import.
7. Click Next.



8. On the Import Identifier page, choose the Numbering Mode and Numbering Schema to identify each imported document.
9. Click Start.

Note: If warnings exist, Warnings displays the number of instances. Click to view the Event Log for details.
