Image upload – WHY?

    Hi.

    Why do we have to upload images when the images we want to display have already been uploaded – media-wise? Why can we not access the media library??

    Many users use Connections to manage directories with hundreds to thousands of directory entries. If each of those entries has both the photo and logo attached, that will significantly affect the performance of the Media Library and the ability to manage it.

    I hope this helps!

    It would be great if this was an option though. I have a smaller directory and this makes it hard to manage the images.

    Could you please give examples of how it is hard to manage the directory images? Thanks!

    Hi Steve,

    I’m not OP, but had the same question. For me, the head shots pre-date my current experiment with Connections, and for that matter, pre-date me altogether. So to get images into Connections entries, I have to go to Media Library, download to local drive, then go back to Connections and into the relevant entry to upload the image.

    I don’t have bazillions of records to deal with, so it’s doable, but having to download each image is definitely more steps.

    Hope that helps!

    Thanks for the feedback. I’ll see if I can somehow incorporate uploading and Media Library access.
