Create multiple records for your belongings automatically.

Creating multiple records automatically is easy to do and makes the inventory process much faster.  To create multiple records automatically…

• Take one digital picture for each of your belongings and place them in a folder on your hard drive. You can add other pictures, such as details, later on if needed.

• Go to the "Tools" drop down at the top of your screen and choose the "Batch Import a Folder of Images" option.

• A dialog box will appear asking you to specify the location of the folder. Click the "Specify" button and locate the folder. If you have folders within the folder, check the "Include all enclosed folders" option.

• Next select your options for file type and importing.  For "File Type" leave the "Picture and movie files" option checked. For importing we recommend that you check the "Import only a reference to each picture file" option.  IMPORTANT: If you choose this option you must leave the folder of pictures in the same place on your hard drive and never delete the folder. If you move or delete the folder the pictures will no longer display in the software. 

• Click the "OK" button.

• The "Import Field Mapping" dialog box appears.  Make sure that the fields are lined up as follows.  Image -> Picture 1, File Name -> Item, Image Thumbnail -> Thumbnail Picture.

• Click the "Import" Button.

• Make sure that the "Perform auto-enter options while importing" option is checked.

• Make sure that the "Import values in repeating fields by" option is set to "Keeping them in the original record"

•  Click the "Ok" button.

Once this is completed a new record will be automatically created for each picture you took and the name of the picture will be placed in the item field.
