Managing Images
Learn about the Reltio Image Management (Image Hosting or IH) feature for hosting and managing images for profiles.
Business users and integrated systems can now easily manage multiple Image objects related to an entity using important functions such as selecting a default image and adding images directly through the UI. You can add, delete, and change the default image for a profile. For more information, see Managing Profile Images in the Hub.
In addition, you can edit the icons, images or graphs, displayed in the Hub, for each entity type in your tenant. For more information, see Use custom entity type icons, images and graphs.
By hosting images in Reltio platform, you'll enjoy these benefits:
- Natural merge and unmerge functionality, where the images will stay with the proper profiles throughout merging and unmerging functions.
- Powerful security protocols and controls, providing an ability to control which users and systems have CRUD access to their images and data.
- Automatic calculations of important attributes such as image height, width, mime-type, and others, as well as automated resizing to provide two different sizes of the image. All of this rich data can then be easily shared with other systems within the entire customer ecosystem.
- Ability to take advantage of these attributes in Reltio platform itself by using them in Search to find the profiles you are interested in.
- Flexibility in image storage options. You can use Reltio's S3 or your own S3.
