Specification Editor Media Tab

Use the Media tab to add a media file, such as a JPG or GIF file, to a specification. When adding media files, you can specify the media type to determine the orientation of the image and how the image is used in the application.

For example, a media file of type front is used to display an entity as a node in a network visualization, as a node in a service topology visualization, and as an equipment (if the equipment is of the type "CARD") in an equipment visualization. A media type of right would indicated that the image be used when the right side of the object is displayed. A media of type icon is used when displaying the equipment in a tree view.

Note:

UIM uses the media types front and icon only.
