Image controls
How to use various image controls
Overview
There are three types of controls that you can use to manage image attributes:
- File image
- Image URL
- SVG
Image attributes allow you to include images in your item details.
Adding a File Image control
The File Image control allows you to add a control that can be linked to an image link attribute that allows you to link images within an item.
- Access the stencil editor for the design you want to change.
- Select the Add control option to display the Add controls dialog.
- Select the File Image control from the list of available controls. The control is inserted and the configuration dialog is displayed.
- Select the Attribute field to display the Attribute dialog that allows you to select the required link attribute from the current design. Attributes that are not available are greyed out, only link attributes can be selected.
For this to work correctly the link you select needs to be configured for images.

The Label field allows you to enter a custom label for the control that appears in the item details.

When you have completed adding controls select the Save stencil button to update the stencil.
