Picture Master

Under Student Master/Entry select Loaders, then select Picture Master.

To Import Pictures in Mass, Use the Following Steps
- After clicking OK on the setup box, click the Load From CD/Zip button.
- Click the Choose Files button, then choose the files you wish to upload to the Picture Master. You can choose up to 4000 files, or choose a zip file that contains all files. Pictures must be named by the student ID number (7 digits) followed by .jpg. To choose all the pictures in the file, use the Control - "A" key board command. NOTE: The program will now deal with picture files that are missing the leading zeros. If the student number is "0012345", the program will find the correct file if it has a file name of "12345.jpg".
- After selecting the pictures in the file to import, click "Open".
- Then click "Save". You will be notified when the pictures are imported.
- Navigate back to Student Master to check that the pictures are attached to the students.
- Note: Do not use any outside compression software such as WinZip, 7-Zip, WinRar, etc. if saving the picture file to your computer.
