Image Filename Override

The Image Filename Override allows admin users and store owners to perform image tracking and mapping based on the given file name of the images that will be assigned on a specific item in the web store.

By default, all images on the web store are automatically duplicated by the system and provided with a different numeric name in the web resource folder for web reference. Instead of this, setting the image file’s custom name on Connected Business would be more uniform, making it applicable for admin users and store owners when mapping images.
