Purchasing AP Graphics Bank images

Once an AP Graphics Bank image has been added to a Page (see

), you may

purchase the full resolution version of the image. As part of the purchase operation, you may
also set properties for the image, including specifying a category where the image will reside
on the Xmedia Server.

image.

For each image that you want to purchase, select the image and set the following
Image properties in the pane to the right of the image.

If more than one image is selected and all images have the same property value, the
common property value is displayed. Otherwise the property field is blanked out. Changing
a property value when multi-selected, applies the value to all selected images.

The name of the image asset. The default name is the
image’s AP Graphics Bank numeric id with an AP prefix.

If more than one image is selected, the N

field is

disabled.

To quickly set the names of multiple images, click the first
image to select it and type in new a name. Press the down
arrow key to select the next image and then type in a new
name.

Expiry Date

The expiry date of the image asset specifies the date when
the image is no longer needed and will be removed from the
Xmedia Server and all devices to which it was published.

Choose None to indicate no expiry date, or select an expiry
date from the calendar control.

Publish Lifespan

The number of days that an image is kept on a device to
which it has been published before it is no longer needed on
the device and will be removed.

A value of 0 indicates that the image should be kept
indefinitely.
