As 2020 came to an end and businesses started to slow down, we still wanted to ensure that we updated the content on the PowerBase. During December, we updated five articles. Each updated article aims to provide quick answers to any specific questions our customers might have on how to best use our software for their businesses.
If you would like to read past articles on what we’ve added or updated on the DotActiv PowerBase, you can browse through our previous PowerBase summaries here. You can also read about why we introduced the DotActiv PowerBase here.

How Do I Upload Product Images?
There are three possible ways in which you can upload images to your planogram; namely by linking an image folder to the planogram based on an image algorithm, by dragging and dropping images from a file onto the product, or through a bulk image import.
However, what happens if you’ve tried all of the above and your images still fail to upload?
