Importing Controller Photos

The Import Photos feature in Controller allows you to upload a small batch of photos in bulk. This method supports up to 100 photos at a time, making it a quick solution for updating multiple records. To ensure efficient uploads, it is recommended that the photos are sized no larger than 50KB each.

Photo Naming Requirements

To successfully match photos with records, the photo files must be named according to a field available in Controller. It is recommended to use the Person Number field for naming. For example, if a person has the number 123456, their photo should be named 123456.jpg.
