Image Manager

Use the Image Manager to complete general CSM Item Manager operations for images.

When you create a new image in the Image Manager, you import or link to an image located on your computer or in a directory. To import/link multiple images simultaneously, select them from the appropriate location and drag them into the Image Manager.

The Image Manager supports most image file types, including .gif, .ico, .jpg, and .png.
