Specify width of reference images

One of ICA-AtoM's design assumptions is that the digital objects users upload typically will be too large to easily display in an ICA-AtoM field. Therefore, when you upload a digital object, ICA-AtoM creates two derivative images: a thumbnail and a reference display copy. This
- The thumbnail is for display on the View archival description screen.
- The higher-resolution reference display copy is for display on the View digital object screen.
- Typically the user clicks the thumbnail to access the View digital object screen; then clicks the reference display copy there to access the master file that was originally uploaded.
ICA-AtoM ships with a default setting for the maximum width size of the reference display copy: 480 pixels. System administrators can increase or decrease this size to suit the requirements of their institution or network.
1. Click the Admin > Settings tab.
2. Click the Global information area to display global settings.
3. Revise the reference_image_maxwidth value as required.
