Absolutely, you can import photos to your records. Here you will find everything you need to know to import your photos to Fulcrum.
Importing New Photos
When importing photos into records in your app, you must upload a ZIP file that contains two things:
The actual photo files in a
.jpgformat and the data file that contains the record data that is being imported into your app.In the data file there should be a column that will be mapped to the photo field in your app. The cells that column that are associated with records need to contain the file name of the photo, without the file extension.
For example:
photo, notphoto.jpg
If you are uploading multiple photos to a single photo field, then you will want to separate the photo file names with a comma in the cell.
photo1,photo2,photo3
When importing photos the photo files should be in the .jpg file format. The extension needs to be in lowercase. Uppercase file extensions will result in errors.
Copying Photos From One Record To Another
To copy photos from one record to another using the importer, you must include the photo files in the imported ZIP file. Since photo file names must be unique, Fulcrum will rename them during the import process. If the actual photo files are not included, the system will skip uploading those photos.
Tip: Use the Data Downloader with custom media file names to download the photos and select the File Name option. Avoid using the File URL or File ID, as this may cause an error when importing.
