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.
- The thumbnail is for display on the archival description view screen.
- The higher-resolution reference display copy is for display on the digital object view screen screen.
- Typically the user clicks the thumbnail to access the digital object view screen; then clicks the reference display copy there to access the master file that was originally uploaded.
ICA-AtoM ships with a default setting specifying the maximum width size of the reference display copy at 480 pixels. This is the optimized width given ICA-AtoM's other design specs (field width). Administrators, however, can increase or decrease the maximum reference image size (width) 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.
4. Click the save button.
