Set up Image Service
Introduction
By default, Image Service is already set up to allow uploading and managing images. However, an extra setup is needed if you wish to use the Ingest functionality with images or programmatically upload images from a pre-defined blob storage using the RabbitMQ EnsureImageExists
command.
To configure the required acquisition settings in the Management System, open your Management System UI in a web browser. From the home screen, navigate to Settings and find this section:
Acquisition Settings
These settings define how the Image Service can acquire the source image files when
they are referenced by a relative path during Ingest or when using the EnsureImageExists
command processing.
The table below describes the settings that you see under Image Acquisition.
