Add your own images
Updated over 3 months ago

Here's how you can add your own images to any plant record:

Find the plant you want to edit

Before you can start adding your own imagery, locate the plant you want to edit. Click on the plant to open the full ePlant (plant record).

We're working on Echinacea angustifolia.

Once you're in the ePlant, look to the left sidebar for your tools.

Select "Edit Plant"

This will open a modal window that will start the process of converting the plant record to a MyPlant. (A MyPlant is any plant that you have modified or added to your account.

It will not be shared with any other users.)

Click the button to "Create MyPlant".

Next, you'll need to decide where you want this new plant record to be used.

If you are using pictures that are only relevant to the current project, click "Replace in Active Project" - otherwise, click "Replace Everywhere. This will update the plant record to include the new image(s) in every location.

Great, now you have a MyPlant that you can modify as much as you like. Now you can add your image(s).

If the data form with all the plant details opens up in front, just close it so you can see the entire plant record.

Upload Image(s)

On the left side, look in the toolbar again and click "Edit Images".

This will open the images manager. Just under the main heading, click the button that says "Upload Images".

This is what the upload screen looks like. Click the button for "Choose Files" and find the image(s) you want to upload.

You can upload more than one image at a time (up to 20 pictures).

You want to upload the largest picture you have, as long as it's no larger than 10MB.

Once you've selected your image(s) you'll see a preview of them in the upload window.

Click "Upload" to add your image(s) to the ePlant.

By default, the new image will be added to the bottom of your image collage.

Change the order of the images

If you want to move your new image, simply adjust the number of the image to location you want.

(Keep in mind, all presentations and reports will display the first image in your collage. Some reports will include images 1 - 3)

For this example, we chose to add it to the first spot. This is what our new collage looks like - notice the new image is first!

Once you're done tinkering with the image order, all you need to do is click "Return to ePlant Details" to see your finished ePlant.

You can always come back and add more images, delete images, or reorder them.
