Uploading Files using the File Uploader

Uploading Files using the File Uploader

The Image Uploader application allows large amounts of files (i.e. Images & PDFs) to be uploaded at once, and in the case of images also be automatically linked to the relevant Product at the same time.

Important Note: If you would like automatic Image linking enabled for your system get in touch with Inzant so it can be configured. Please note that images can be automatically linked to products on the basis of the image file name being identical to any of the following fields on the product;
  • Manufacturer Code (SKU)
  • Barcode 1 (UPC Code 1)
  • Barcode 2 (UPC Code 2)
  • Barcode 3 (UPC Code 3)
Inzant supports only jpeg and png file formats, please use image conversion software if your images are in another format (like bmp or tiff). You can use software such as the adobe suite (paid subscription) or FastStone Image Resizer (small one off fee). 

Step 1

Firstly you'll need to be logged into the Inzant Sales Management Portal.
  1. Once logged in, you can just click on File Uploader in the Side Bar menu




Step 2


  1. Make sure you have the right Media Type (Images or PDF), and folder selected before you start uploading (as this is where the files will get uploaded).
  2. Make sure you have the correct folder selected if you use folders
  3. Once you have selected the right options, click Upload Files. 
Note that you do not have to create sub folders for files, you can load them directly into "Images" or "PDFs".






Step 3

This will display the file selector where you select the files to upload to the selected location.
  1. You can either drag and drop the files into the window to start uploading
or 
  1. or click anywhere inside the dotted zone to open the file selector. 

Once you add the files you'll see the progress bar start going for each image, 2 at a time.
  1. You can continue to drag and drop images into the list and they'll be added to the end of the queue, they will be uploaded to the same location.


Once the files have all completed feel free to close the popup, all done!


Tips

  1. If you need to upload additional images into separate folders you can do this now, just make sure to select the folder in the sidebar first before clicking Upload Files. 
  2. If you do use sub folders for storing your images, a tip to ensure you are uploading your files to the right location is to read the popup header, it includes the folder location.


  3. If you need to upload lots of images into multiple sub folders quickly then you can open the File Uploader screen in multiple windows and be doing multiple uploads at the same time.

  4. To speed up the upload time, optimise your files before uploading. This means convert PNGs or other types to JPGs, and reduce the size of large files. These are pretty simple tasks to do with software like FastStone.
