How to connect an image to an object
...
- Go to the view of the object that you want to upload an image for.
- Click on the tab "Media".
- Click on the field that you want to upload an image for. The field could often be named "main image".
- Click on the "upload" button in the dialogue that showed up.
- Next there is three steps to do:
- Choose an image to upload. Write a title that describes the image.
- Crop the image in a way so that it does not contain any unnecessary edges or empty margins.
- Mark a focus point in the image. This is to ensure that the most interesting/important part of the image is always showing regardless of screen/unit used for viewing (the image will have different resolution and height/width-ratio depending on the unit used).
- Choose an image to upload. Write a title that describes the image.
- Click "upload". It can then take a couple of seconds before the image is processed and saved, this is normal.
- Click "save" in order to save the change that has been made on the object.

Picking an image from assets
The API provides image assets in an array containing various sizes. Both the web and app utilize following methods to determine the appropriate image to display based on the available screen space.
- selectClosestWidth
- selectClosestHeight
- selectClosestAspectRatio
- selectClosestWidthAndHeight
Displaying images
- When displaying the image on the web or app, the system detects the available space.
- The system dynamically resizes and positions the image so that the focal point remains as centered as possible within the visible area.
