Plan and Create the Production Form 51
ID Works Basic Version 5 Administrator’s Guide
Consider making the photo field on the Production Form the same
proportions as the photo field on the card. For example, if the photo
area on the card is square, make the photo field on the Production
Form square by entering the same number for Height as for Width on
the General tab of the Edit Field Properties [Photo] dialog box. On
the Advanced tab of the dialog box, select Crop Box With Shape of
This Field. This determines the shape of the black crop box with
sizing handles that appears when a photo file is opened.
Also consider selecting Automatically When Field Selected in the
Capture Initiation area of the Advanced tab. If this option is selected,
the image capture method you specified will automatically launch
when the Production operator enters the photo field. If this option is
not selected, the Production operator must make a menu selection or
double-click after entering the field.
You can specify where to store a photo, in the database or as a file
outside of the database, on the Storage tab of the Edit Field
Properties [Photo] dialog box. See “File Name Considerations” on
page 91. You can also specify the format in which the photo is stored.
Formats available are:
If you choose JPEG File Interchange Format or JPEG 2000 File
Format, you can also specify a compression factor or that the file be
compressed to a target file size.
When you select to use a compression factor, a slider appears, letting
you select the compression factor to use. Minimum compression
results in the highest quality but largest file size; maximum
