LV Breaker - Media Gallery Tab

Use this tab to store media such as pictures of the equipment. You can add media from a file on your computer or you can link to media that is already in the Media Gallery. If you import media, such as from an OnSite project, the media appears here.

You can toggle between having the tab hidden or displayed by clicking the blue arrow in the corner of the data dialog box, as shown below.

File name The name of the media file. It is for reference only.
Date added The date the file was added—for example, when it was imported.
Description The description of the file. If you change the name here, it changes the name on the thumbnail, but does not change the name of the file itself. This option is not available if more than one media file is selected.
Notes Notes for the selected media file. This option is not available if more than one media file is selected.
Linked to The equipment to which the media file is linked. There can be more than one.
