Images for item entry and item information
It is possible to display item images in the item entry and item information. Digital Signage is responsible for loading these images.
Use the following file name convention:
<Item number/Main EAN>.<Image format>
The file dcc.properties is used for configuration of the image formats.
Displaying images
To display item images, set the configuration of Digital Signage in the file dcc.properties accordingly:
DccConfig.itemImageLoadingStrategy=MainPosItemId
DccConfig.multipleItemImagesLoadingStrategy=DirectoryName;FileName

DccConfig.cache.repository.canClear.0=trueThe following table contains the descriptions of the parameters:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| DccConfig.itemImageLoadingStrategy | Defines how an image of an item will be loaded. Therefore, the parameter contains a list of loading strategies to be used to load the item image. The following loading strategies are supported:
The loading strategies are separated by a semicolon and they are processed in the given order. If no corresponding item image is found then it will take the next one from the list. |
| DccConfig.multipleItemImagesLoadingStrategy | Defines how multiple item images (e.g. in item info) will be loaded. Therefor the parameter contains a list of loading strategies that should be used to load the item images. The following loading strategies are supported:
The loading strategies are separated by a semicolon and they are processed in the given order. If no corresponding directory / item image is found then it will take the next one from the list. The parameter will only be considered by OneX clients. In addition, it requires ItemInfoConfigs.Default.condensed=true to be considered in the item info process. |
| DccConfig.server.url | Defines the URL for HTTP communication with the Digital Signage Server (DSG). |
| DccConfig.server.endpointItem | Fetching service of DC Resource. |
| DccConfig.server.endpointDirectory | Query service for determination of the directory. |
| DccConfig.server.timeoutConnection | Maximum time interval for receiving the return value corresponding to the server query (in milliseconds). |
| DccConfig.server.timeoutSocket | Socket timeout |
| DccConfig.client.active | Enabling the Digital Signage Client. If the value is set to false, Digital Signage Client will not be used on the POS Client. |
| DccConfig.client.corePoolSize | Number of threads kept in the pool even if free. |
| DccConfig.client.maximumPoolSize | Maximum number of threads. |
| DccConfig.cache.repository.item | Relative path of the path configured in <DccConfig.cache.root>. |
| DccConfig.cache.repository.itemExtension |
File extension of item image files. The following image formats are allowed: JPG, GIF, PNG A separate directory is configured for each type of media files. Each directory has its own configuration. |
| DccConfig.cache.repository.location.x | Relative/absolute path on local hard disk. |
| DccConfig.cache.repository.expirationTime.x | Time in h after which the files/directories on the POS are considered as obsolete. If new ones exist on the DSG, the old files/directories on the POS are replaced by the current ones from the DSG. |
| DccConfig.cache.repository.canClear.x | All directories are checked after POS Client startup. If this parameter is true, any files/directories considered as obsolete will be deleted. |
