if we take a look at the table in DB where information on products is stored, you can see that the column which stores information on images is called "PictureId". This column takes information directly from "SysImage" table where all images are stored. The image itself is stored in "Data" column and it is stored as binary code there. Unfortunately there is no way to import data to SysImage table directly using data import tool. I will create a problem to our R&D team so to develop this functionality in future and I hope it will be implemented soon enough. As for now you need to update images manually via product page. Thank you for helping us to make our application better.
I need that when I set up the Facebook profile in the employee's "CommunicationOptions", the profile photo will be uploaded to the Employee's Photo, which would implicitly be uploaded to the Contact's Photo. This functionallity only works when done from Contact. How could I replicate it in Employee? If the Employee's photo actually refers to the Contact's photo and in Contact works fine, it should appear, since the fields configured in Employee's "Communication Options" actually refer to the associated Contact.
I need the default image of the employee to change dynamically depending if gender is Female O Male when the Photo not is set. I saw that the attribute Photo on Employee refers to Contact.Photo in attributes section of EmployeePage(Base)
You can achieve such task by applying some code modifications to the ContactPageV2. Please create or open ContactPageV2. Go to localizable strings (menu on the right) and add to Images your icon for female contacts.
Afterwards, please use this example to apply code modifications:
Here you can see, that based on the gender of the contact, the icon is set. Also, you can improve the code by adding onChange statement, which can change the icon if gender changes in runtime.
