Add Multimedia Items

You can add new multimedia items to events in two ways after selecting the relevant event on the Event Listing tab:

  • Choose Add on the Multimedia pane to upload the file as required.

  • Drag & drop the multimedia file from Windows Explorer onto the Multimedia pane.

Note

  • When adding or editing a multimedia item, you can select or deselect the Can Report checkbox in the Add/Edit Multimedia dialog. This adds or removes a flag for the file, which can be used to include or exclude the multimedia file from reports when configuring report templates. You can add the Can Report column to the Multimedia pane under Customise ‣ Columns.

  • If you select multiple events, then the multimedia file will be attached to all selected events.

Preview Multimedia Items

If you click the Preview button on the Multimedia pane, you can open a floating window to display the selected image in full size. If the selected events contain more images and you scroll from image to image on the Multimedia pane, the Preview window gets refreshed with whatever image is selected.

Crop Multimedia Items

You can crop image files in the Multimedia pane as follows:

  1. Select the file and click Crop in the toolbar.

  2. Click Crop in the toolbar of the Edit Image dialog.

  3. Click and drag a rectangle on the image as required.

  4. Before completing the crop, click Keep Original if you want the new cropped image to be added to the event’s collection of images without overwriting the existing image. If you want to replace the existing image with the new cropped version, ensure Keep Original is not selected.

  5. To complete the crop, click the commit button, or choose Crop To Selection from the toolbar.
