The Media library is your image repository. Access the media library to upload media content, update media names and tags or delete media from the library.

Using the Media library

• To add new image(s) click Upload media and your computer will navigate to your File Explorer where you can select an image (or select multiple images) to upload.
• It is recommended you Name and Tag your images appropriately to enable easy searching later.
  

Different ways to upload media

• Supplier: You can add images to the Supplier media library. 
• Product: You can select an existing Supplier image from the Media library or upload a new an image to a Product. Each product can have up to 5 images as the  “Default itinerary images” panel. These images will automatically display whenever the product is added to an itinerary.
• Resource: Similar to Product, you can have up to 5 images as the  “Default itinerary images” panel. These images will automatically display whenever the Resource is added to an itinerary.
  
• Itinerary: You can add images to your itinerary at the preview stage. On the Proposal tab of your itinerary, click the image icon to be directed to the Media library.
  

Note: Refer to the Creating Suppliers section for further instructions on adding Supplier/Product images.

Adding Tags & Names

1. After you log into your account, click Resources > Media to access the Media library.
   
2. Select Add media to browse to an image on your system.
3. Click the image to name it and to add multiple tags.
   

Searching by Tags and Names

Once you tag images and add an image title, you can easily search for an image in Tourwriter.

1. Click the Search text field and type the image name or the image tag.

Marking a supplier image as Primary

If a supplier image is marked as primary, when creating a new product for this supplier, the primary image will automatically be assigned to the Default itinerary images panel

1. In the Supplier>Media tab click the Add media button
   
2. Select an image form the Media library or Upload media stored locally (as explained above)
3. The image that was added first defaults as the primary image.
4. You can select a different image to be the default primary image by hovering over a different uploaded image and clicking the 1 symbol. This assigns the image a first image to display.

Notes: At least one supplier images must be marked as the primary image

Notes on image sizing

Tourwriter recommends an image size of 2200×1000 pixels as seen in the Media section. Adding a smaller or larger sized image automatically resizes the image. When viewing an itinerary, the image will rescale to have a width of 1170 pixels. This is done to fetch and load images faster, thus improving the overall performance.

On itinerary Proposals, images will be adjusted slightly to fit the different product views: 1) Accommodations -775 x 500 / 55px R-L margin / 32px Top-Bottom margin 2) Activities – 675 x 500 / 80px R-L margin / 60px Top-Bottom margin.

It will be tricky to make all images the same size as the complete itinerary design is based on the current structure. If you share with us an image you wish to add to the Media library, we can provide the size the image will be cropped to.
