Embed rich media in an eCatalog
You can use eCatalog’s Rich Media option to add videos in MP4 format or Spin Sets to Image Maps that you have added to an eCatalog. When a user selects the Image Map area in the eCatalog, the associated Spin Set or video is displayed. This functionality is especially helpful if you want customers to see an item in use or see an item from different angles and perspectives.
You can also optionally display tooltip text when customers move their pointers over your Image Map so they know what they are selecting.
To embed rich media in an eCatalog:
-
Draw an eCatalog Image Map.
-
In the Show drop-down list, select Rich Media.
-
In the Add Assets panel on the left, navigate to a folder that contains the Spin Set or video (MP4 format) asset that you want to embed.
-
Drag the asset onto the Image Map.
-
(Optional) In the Image Map list panel, under the Tool Tip column header, enter the text that you want viewers to see onscreen when they move their pointer over the Image Map.
-
Select Save.
Editing eCatalog Image Maps
Starting on the Map Pages tab of the eCatalog screen, use these techniques to edit eCatalog Image Maps:
-
Adjust the position: Select the Pan tool and move the pointer near but not over the border of the map. When the pointer shows a four-headed arrow, drag the entire Image Map to a new location.
-
Change the shape and size: To resize a rectangular Image Map, select the Pan tool. Then move the pointer over a borderline or a corner, and when you see the double-headed arrow icon, drag. To resize a polygonal Image Map, drag a square selection handle. To create a selection handle, select the border of the Image Map and drag.
-
Deleting Image Maps: Select the Pan tool, select the Image Map to select it, and then select Delete.
To remove all Image Maps from an eCatalog, select the Order Pages tab, and then select Clear Maps.
-
Handling overlapping Image Maps: Drag to change the order of Image Maps on the Image Map list.
-
Copying Image Maps to other pages: Select Copy Maps To (make sure you are on the Map Pages tab). On the Select Images screen, select the page or pages where you want to copy the Image Maps, and select Select.
