Adding Media to a Specification

Media files can be associated to a specification and are used in UIM to display an image of an entity instance created from the specification. Media files are used in UIM to display an entity as an icon in a tree view, as a node in a network visualization, as a node in a service topology visualization, and as a card in an equipment visualization.

To add a media file to a specification:

In a Specification editor, click the Media tab.
Click Add.

The Open dialog box appears.
Select a file, then click Open.

The path to the selected media file appears in the Media tab.
Click the Media Type field, then select a type.

Note:

Only one media type can be selected per row. To use the same image for more than one purpose, you must add it to a new row and select an additional media type.
From the File menu, select Save.
