Image Mapping
Engaging and casual-user focused, MinistryPlatform is filled with images so you can visualize the Contact, Participant, Event, Event Participant, Group, Group Participant, and more at a glance.
You can see images in an open record. They're also visible in the list layout—perfect for the causal user to see what they need to know at a glance.
Images are attached to a record as a file. It displays on both pages and tabs based on that table.
Images can be sourced from other records and do not require direct attachment to a record. That means that a Participant record or a Group Participant record could display the image attached to a Contact record.
Attached images display in the page's Files panel. But if it is mapped to the record, it does not display there.
Images can be mapped to both pages and tabs.
