Managing images and documents

In PLM for Fashion, you can manage images and other documents that you must use for your products through the Document Library. Use the Document Library to store your files and then later on assign them to records in the application, such as a product attribute, style record, or care instruction.

When you preview an image, its filename is displayed on the lower left of the image preview. For PDF files, the first page of the PDF file is displayed in the Preview column of the Document Library list page, and in the details page.

Annotated images are marked in the Document Library list page, in the details page, and in Infor Document Management (IDM). You can also filter the Document Library list page to show annotated images only.

You can use the search function to search for a document or image using values that came from different sources, including system-defined fields, selected fields from Infor Document Management, and extended fields. You can associate extended fields to the Document Library.

See the Infor PLM for Fashion Administration Guide.

You can create a custom view based on the standard Document Library layout. You can also create custom views to set for each document type.

See the Infor PLM for Fashion Administration Guide.

Infor Document Management-related fields in the Document Library are read-only.

When uploading 2D turntable files in IDM, the Type field in the Attributes tab is not automatically populated. You must add the value TurnTable2D in the field to display these files in thePLM for Fashion Document Library when adding 2D turntable images on the Style Images tab.

You must also provide a value for the Schema field in the Attributes for the uploaded 2D turntable file in IDM to display that file on the Style Images tab. While a thumbnail is still visible on the tab, you cannot open the file in a window if you do not specify a value for the Schema field in IDM.

Note: You can upload 2D turntable zip files up to 256 MB in IDM.
