About smart images

For activity-level work instructions where a single part or assembly requires multiple images (for example, different part views such as Top, Side, Bottom, and so on), FactoryLogix can display the desired part image dynamically based on animage title. This capability alleviates the need to create work instructions driven by option codes which can be time consuming. Using these smart images may also reduce project size, relieving the need to have a huge set of instructions available when only a fraction of the content is used for any given batch/order.

Important

The ability to dynamically display multiple images for a given part cannot be utilized in FactoryLogix when the parts list is imported using the Batch Import integration service (FLX-XTD-JOB-01).
