Configuring Images for Objects

This section describes how to expose the Image Manager for objects and how to configure the images associated with business objects.

  1. To expose the Image Manager capability for an object, use the Business Modeler application to search for the object type's Menu.

  2. Add the command APPImageManager to it using the naming convention for the menu type_<TYPE NAME>. You can also use MQL to add the APPImageManager command to the type's menu, for example: 

    modify menu <Menu Name> add command APPImageManager;

    For a list of parameters the system administrator can set in order to manage object images in the system properties file, see emxComponents.properties.

    The following table lists the URL parameters accepted for objects with associated images. If a parameter is not passed in with the URL, the default value is assumed.
