Adding Photos

Picture Wizard Screen

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

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

1. Open the Care Menu from the Online Care Portal
2. Click the “Pictures” button
3. Click the Picture Wizard Button
4. Make a new picture folder for the pictures (If you have not already done so.)
5. Add Pictures to a Picture Folder

To share pictures from your Facebook account, see the Facebook Picture Feed help page.

Picture Names

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 pictures that you can change. To see the settings, in the Pictures Module, click the "Options" button.

• Picture Refresh controls how frequently slides change on the system's digital slide show
• Show Picture Captions controls whether the picture name is displayed with the photo on the system's digital slide show
