Configuring service request images

You can change the service request images that appear in the Request Entry console. To do so, you can select one of the default images installed with BMC Service Request Management, or you can add your own images to better suit your organization.

You can add any standard graphic format used with HTML code, (for example, GIF, PNG, or JPG graphics). You can even use animated GIF images. Generally, the smaller the image, the better the performance.

You can relate multiple SRDs to one image. You can also relate different images to different locales for each SRD. For example, you can use one image appropriate for the en_US locale, and a different image appropriate for the fr_FR locale.

To add new images

1. From the Application Administration Console, click the Custom Configuration tab.
2. From the Application Settings list, choose Service Request Management > Request Entry Management > Service Request Image Configuration, and click Open.
3. To create an image, perform the following steps from the Service Request Images form:
   1. Specify a company.
   2. Right-click inside the attachment field, and select Add.
   3. Add the image.
   4. Enter the image name and the image file name.
   5. Click Save.
      You can now use this image in the Request Entry console as needed (for example, when you create a navigational category).
4. To replace an image, perform the following steps:
   1. Open the Service Request Images form in Search mode.
