Picture Wizard Screen

Overview

Any caregiver can share personal photos with a Resident. Photos will display as part of the digital slide show on the touchscreen and be available in photo albums for on-demand viewing. Upload photos remotely from any Internet-connected computer or set up a feed to automatically share selected Facebook™ Photo albums.

Upload Pictures

To add photos this way, you must have copies of them on your computer, or on a device that is attached to your computer, such as a flash drive or a camera.

Upload Pictures from your Computer

Open the Care Menu from the Online Care Portal
Click the “Photos” button
Click the "Add/Edit Photos" Button
Make a new photo album for the photos (If you have not already done so.)
Add Photos to an album

To share selected photo albums from your Facebook account, see the Facebook Picture Feed help page.

Photo Options

Captions

When you upload a picture, the file name is used as the caption. You can change the name/caption to a descriptive title or phrase in the Picture Wizard. Select the link to "Show/Rename Pictures in an existing picture folder." It's nice to have a descriptive caption with a picture on the slide show. In addition, the picture name is used in the "Pick the Caption" brain exercise game, and a descriptive name works much better for that purpose.

Picture Options

There are a few system settings for photos that you can change. To see the settings, in the Photos Module, click the "Options" button.

Photo Refresh controls how frequently slides change on the system's digital slide show
Show Photo Captions controls whether the photo's caption is displayed with the photo on the system's digital slide show
