Deleting or Editing Images in the Index

Edit indexes in the following ways:

You must have the IMAGE.EDIT.ALLOWED authorization key to delete or edit images.

To delete or edit an image in the index:

  1. Display an Eclipse record that has an Image Indicator (*i*).

  2. Press Shift-F12 then select Edit Images to display the Attached Documents window.

The window includes images currently indexed to the record, as well as any images with deleted indexes. A deleted index (identified by **Deleted** in its description) was once attached to the record, but was later removed. For example, you might want to delete the index from an old MSDS sheet, so the more recent sheet is displayed instead of the old sheet. However, since the deleted index is still listed, you can still manually select and retrieve the old sheet for comparison.

  1. Select the image to delete or edit to display the Edit Indexes window.

Note:You can retrieve a deleted index. Select a deleted index, identified by a ~Deleted~ profile. TheDelete Entire Indexoption changes toUnDel. Entire Index.When you use the option to retrieve the index, you can enter a new description and profile before closing the Edit Indexes window.

  1. The Image ID field displays the name of the image file.

  2. In the Image Description field, enter up to 40 characters of added image file identification. By default, the Image ID name is repeated here. But you can enter a more memorable name, to help identify the file attachment later.

  3. The Document Profile field displays the name of the document profile used for the file. A profile is required, because it lets Eclipse know how to index and store the file. If you change the profile, enter one of the following at the prompt:

  1. To indicate that the image can be recalled using a description search, check the Index Description for Recall check box. To prevent searches, leave this check box blank.

  1. To require authorization to view the image, in the View Auth Key field, select an Eclipse security key to the image. This helps prevent unauthorized users from viewing the image. For example, assign a security key that protects payroll record images from unauthorized viewing.

  2. To make your image file available from more than one Eclipse record, in the Index Points field, enter additional index pointers for each item in the Type field. For example, you can make the same blanket purchase order image accessible from both the customer (Entity) and the sales order entry (Ledger) records.

Enter the following information in the Index Points field for these types:

  1. Use the following options as described:

Note:If you use theDeleteoptions to delete any indexes, you are only breaking the index links to the file attachment. To permanently delete the attachment, manually remove it or run theDocument Copy/Move/Delete Utility.

  1. Save your changes and exit the window.
