Review Images After Upload

You can verify that images are associated with the correct item record by going to the Associated Images sublist of the Web Store subtab.

If the images do not appear on the item record, verify that you completed all the steps in Website Setup.

Add Alternate Text

Alternate text is an important part of your website. Alt text displays in place of the image in case the image cannot load. It is also used by page readers and promotes SEO. The value you enter in the alt image tag populates the value of the alt tag in the HTML image element. For example <img src=”OM5447.media.blue.01.jpg” alt=”blue waterproof Apparition jacket (front view)”>.

Alt text is added manually to each image on the item record. Provide a concise description that informs visitors what the image depicts. The following example shows good alt text. The maximum limit for alt text is 35 characters when it is entered on the item record. Alternatively, you can enter alt text on the file record where the character limit is 199.

Make Images Available Without Login

The ability to view images is controlled in the folder settings. This procedure shows you how to perform a mass update to ensure images are viewable to all website visitors.

If you completed this process while uploading, you can skip it here. This procedure ensures everything in the images folder is available without a login, regardless of how the files were uploaded.

Note:

By default, files uploaded using SuiteScript are available only with login, regardless of which folders the files are saved in. To make files uploaded with SuiteScript available without login, you must set the parameter on the upload script or check the Available Without Login box after file upload. As of 2020.2, files uploaded using Web Services use the same Available Without Login rules as files uploaded using SuiteScript.

To perform a mass update of files to be available without login:

Go to Lists > Mass Update > Mass Updates.
Click Files to expand the options for files.
Click Make Files Available Online.
On the Criteria subtab, define which files to include in the update.
1. In the Filter column, select Folder from the dropdown menu.
2. In the popup window, select any of from the dropdown menu.
3. In the text box, search for the image folder by entering its location (Web Site Hosting Files : Live Hosting Files : images).
4. Click Set.
Click Add.
Click Save.
