Background Information
The images will be inserted at the same level as the thumbnails that are on display.
No records can be inserted immediately below the first level. In this case you will
receive a message and you can set up a new database folder.
The images will be inserted one level below the thumbnails that are on display.
You cannot insert any data here. That is, for example, the case when six levels
already exist below the database folder. Additional data cannot be inserted under a
document.

Snapshot
An image can be inserted into the database directly after the image acquisition. To
do this, select the Special > Preferences... command. On the Image tab select the
Database entry from the Image acquisition > Sequence list.
Before you switch into live mode, mark the database folder to which the image
belongs, in the database. During the image acquisition the image will be automatically inserted into the database.

Insert Images There are several options for inserting images into a database folder.
• Menu commands: mark the database folder in the tree structure of the database window. Select the Database > Insert > Images... command.
• Context menu: mark a folder in the tree structure of the database window and
click on the right mouse button to open a context menu. Select the Insert >
Images... command.
• Drag&Drop in the image manager: drag the images from the image buffer
down onto the database symbol in the image manager. The images will then be
inserted into the active database folder.
• Drag&Drop into the database: drag one or more images from the image
manager into a database folder. When you do this you can see the images in
an entry in the tree structure. The images will then be inserted below this entry.
You can also see the images in a preview window or as thumbnails in the gallery
view.
The mouse pointer will show you by way of its form, whether or not the
Drag&Drop operation you want to perform is allowed. The table below shows
the mouse pointers you may encounter when you carry out a Drag&Drop operation from the image manager onto the gallery view in the database window.
