Associating Images With an Entity

Image files can be associated with simulation entities. You must have read/write access to a simulation entity to associate an image with it. You can view an image from within Process Composer; for example, from the entity's Properties and Content pages.

This task shows you how to:

Uploading Images

You can upload an image to be associated with a simulation entity.

Images can be associated with the following simulation objects:

  • Simulations processes
  • Simulation activities
  • Simulation folders
  • Templates
  • Attribute groups
  • Data categories
  • Simulation documents

  1. To associate images with a simulation process, simulation activity, simulation folder, experience, or attribute group, do the following:
    1. Search for and select the entity that will contain the folder.
      Process Composer displays the entity in the navigation pane and the table page.
    2. From the navigation pane, click Images.
      Process Composer displays the Images page.
    3. From the Images page toolbar, click Upload.
      Process Composer displays the Upload Images page.
    4. Browse to the image files that you want to associate with the entity, and click Done.
      Process Composer stores the selected images with the entity.
    5. The image that appears in the properties window for the entity is called the primary image. If you selected more than one image to associate with the entity, you can change the primary image by toggling on the desired image and selecting Set as Primary from the Images page.
  2. To associate images with a data category or a simulation document, do the following:
    1. Search for and select the simulation process or simulation activity that contains the data category or simulation document.
      Process Composer displays the simulation process or simulation activity in the navigation pane and the table page.
    2. From the navigation pane, click Content.
      Process Composer displays the Content page.
    3. Toggle on the data category or document with which the image will be associated.
    4. From the Content page toolbar, select More Actions > More File Actions > Upload Images.
      Process Composer displays the Upload Images page.
    5. Browse to the image files that you want to associate with the entity, and click Done.
      Process Composer stores the selected images in the entity.

More information about working with associated images can be found in Images Page in the Collaboration and Approvals User's Guide.

Using an Upload Rule to Import an Image into a Document

You can use an upload rule to import an image into a document.

If you use an upload rule to import any of the supported image file types into a document, Process Composer stores the image file in the document. See About Images for more information about the supported image file types.

  1. Create an upload rule as described in Creating an Upload Rule. The upload rule must be created in a simulation activity containing the document into which the file will be imported.
  2. In the Create Upload Rule window, enter the File Name of the image file you want to import.
  3. In the Category field, select the category that contains the document into which the file will be imported.
  4. In the Title Specification field, select User-Specified.
  5. In the Document Title field, enter the name of the document into which the file will be imported.
    If you indicate a document that does not exist, a new document is created to contain the image file; the image will also be associated with this new document.
  6. Define any other upload rule options as necessary, and click Done.

When you run the simulation activity, the image file is imported into the specified document. More information about working with associated images can be found in Images Page in the Collaboration and Approvals User's Guide.
