You can show multiple images on the item card in Business Central using the Master Data Information module. The standard item card only displays a single picture, but with this functionality you get a full image gallery.
You enable the gallery by check marking the Show Image Gallery FactBox in the Master Data Information Setup. The setting is found by scrolling down in the setup page.
You upload images as PNG or JPEG files in the Master Data Information files. Any image file the system recognises becomes part of the gallery shown on the item card.
You can use these images for web shops, other external purposes, or simply for information directly on the item card.
Showing multiple images on the item card
The standard item card in Business Central lets you display one picture per item. With the Master Data Information module, you can show several images at once in an image gallery instead.
When you open an item and the FactBox is enabled, you see the images on the right-hand side of the item card. For a bicycle item, for example, you might see the main picture of the bike along with additional images you have uploaded. Scrolling through the gallery shows you all the files attached to the item.
How to enable the image gallery FactBox
To turn on the gallery, go to Master Data Information Setup. Scroll down a little until you find the check mark called Show Image Gallery FactBox. Check mark this setting, and the gallery appears on the item card page.
Uploading and using the images
You upload the images in the Master Data Information files. The system supports PNG and JPEG files, and any file it recognises is automatically added to the gallery.
Once uploaded, the images can serve several purposes. You can use them externally, for instance in web shops or wherever you publish item data. You can also keep them on the item card purely for internal information, so anyone working with the item can see what it looks like.
