Understanding Photo File Compression When Importing Personnel Records

Photo files that are imported into the ICPAM personnel database can be a maximum of 750 kb per image. If a photo is larger than the defined maximum, the file is automatically compressed by ICPAM.

You can define the maximum file size for imported photo files using the System Configuration module. For example, if you enter a maximum file size of 500 KB, then any files larger than 500 KB will be automatically compressed when the personnel record is imported.

Note          Only personnel photos in the .jpg format are supported for import.

To set the maximum file size limit, do the following:

Step 1           Select System Configuration from the Admin menu.

Step 2   Select Cisco Settings on the left.

Step 3            In the field EDI personnel's photo size limit, enter the maximum file size for the imported file.

·         Enter a value, in KB, between 50 and 750.

·         The default value is 250 KB.

Note      Any photo file larger than the specified size will be automatically compressed during the EDI import operation. A small loss of image quality may be noticeable in the compressed image.

Step 4            Click Save to save the changes.

Step 5            Log out (select Logout from the Options menu) and log back into the ICPAM application to activate the changes.
