This article explains how to bulk upload images in Sync Studio and link them to Jobs and Job Products.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Overview
Sync Studio lets you upload images for many styles at once. You can link them to Jobs and Job Products in two ways:
- Auto Link: matches images using the image file name.
- Manual link: you choose the Job(s) for each image yourself.
Before you start
1. Save all images to an easily accessible place on your PC
2. If you plan to use Auto Link, name your image files using a consistent convention before you upload them. The most common is:
Style-Colour Name (for example, GH234KG-YELLOW.jpg)

5. Go to the folder that holds your images, select the ones you want to upload (Use CTRL or SHIFT keys to multi select!), and click Open. A progress window shows the upload status for each image.

Link images to Jobs
Auto Link options
Option | What it does |
|---|---|
Job Fields | Tells Sync whether the file name contains the Style or the Job Number |
Job Product Fields | Tells Sync whether the file name contains the Colour Name or the Colour Code |
Field Separator | The character between the Job part and the Job Product part of the file name ( -/_/ ) |
Filters: Divisions and Seasons | Limits which Jobs are searched. Use the Division and Season filters so an image isn’t linked to an older season’s Job that has the same style and colour. |
1. Choose how to link:
- Click Auto Link to link all uploaded images by file name (see Auto Link options below).
- Or click the link icon on an image to link it manually. Search for the Job(s) you want and select them.
2. Click Auto Link:
4. Click Next
5. Choose the divisions & seasons to include for image uploads
6. Click Link
7. Each linked image shows a Linked tag and the number of Jobs and Products it was linked to. Images that couldn’t be matched show an Unlinked tag.
Save the links: Save Images to Sync
1. Click Save Links.
2. Choose whether to save the images to Jobs or to Job Products.
You can link on the Job field alone or the Job Product field alone. You don’t need both. The most common is to link to Job Products only
3. Select the Category.
⚠ You must select a Category. If you don’t, the images will not be saved.
4. Click OK. Your images are now available in Sync ERP - you may need to refresh your Sync screen.
Delete images
- To remove one image, click Delete under that image.
- To remove every image uploaded to Sync Studio, click Delete All.
⚠ Deleting can’t be undone.
This only removes images from the Importer NOT from Sync.
