Imago Connect + Tools provides a simple method to upload images to the Imago Portal using an intuitive interface.


The [] signifies either/or combination. For core tray for core tray Imagery Types columns should be StartDepth, EndDepth or NAME, X,Y,Z for point data types. NAME (optional) is useful to signify, for example, the point location (e.g. South Face - 03').

Steps:

  • Select the Upload Images task from the left hand panel.
  • Select a CSV file which contains the required fields for the upload (1 on the screenshot).
  • Map the fields to the Imago Portal expected fields (2 on the screenshot).
  • Click Upload to initiate the upload.
Example:

1. Click Select and navigate to the local folder containing the CSV file.

If the Export Images task was previously used with Generate Export List enabled, the same CSV file can be used for this task.

In the window that pops up, click Copy as path. This copies the file path of all the files to the clipboard.

iv) Paste File Paths in Excel

2. Click Field Mapping. The Definitions dialog opens, listing columns identified in the file (highlighted) on the right-hand side and the required Imago fields on the left-hand side.

Column names in the file need to be the same as the required names, however, whatever name is used, it must map to the required Imago name. Imago Connect will automatically map identically named columns in the CSV to the expected names.

In this example, all but one column have been automatically mapped. For any column which requires mapping, select the Imago column name on the left-hand sided and click the column on the right hand side, then select the relevant column from the dropdown list (derived from the columns in the file):

In the above example, Capture Type represents the type of capture e.g. Face, Surface Sample and will be mapped to Name.

For core tray images, ensure StartDepth and EndDepth in the CSV file are populated. Conversely, for point data, such as surface samples, ensure X, Y and Z are populated.
