This allows you to change the image sequences per output method or portal. Please note that the image with the serial number 1 is the main image for your online shops and portals on eBay and Amazon.

    Import date: If an import date is stored in the source image data of your image, this will be displayed here. If no import date is stored, you will see the date of the last change in this column.

    Modification date: In this column, you can see when the image for the selected item was last loaded into the database.

    Resolution: In this column, you can see the dimensions of the image (width x height) in pixels. Ideally, these dimensions should not exceed the maximum output size of your online shop or portal. JTL-Wawi offers you a helpful tool for this purpose, read more about the topic here.
