SMALLIMAGESIZE - Detailed description

FM-Portal

IC2885
FM-Portal

Overview

Parameters:SMALLIMAGESIZE
Category: Image Processing (Imaging)
Default value: 200x150 (pixels)
Product: eTASK.Other (Imaging)

What does this parameter do?

When you upload photos or images to the eTASK.FM portal (e.g., photos of rooms, devices, or documents), they are automatically saved in three different sizes:

  1. Small images ← This parameter controls this size

  2. Medium images (MEDIUMIMAGESIZE)

  3. Large images (LARGEIMAGESIZE)

The portal automatically decides which image size to display—depending on where the image is used.

What are "small images" used for?

Small images are displayed in:

  • Thumbnails in lists and overviews

  • Thumbnails in galleries

  • Quick views where only a small amount of space is available

  • Mobile views to save data

  • Export functions for compact documents

Technical details (for administrators)

Format:Breite x Höhe (in pixels)
Default value: 200x150
Examples of valid values: - 150x100 - Very small (for lists) - 200x150 - Default (balanced) - 300x225 - Larger (more details)

Aspect ratio

The portal maintains the original aspect ratio when resizing. The values listed are maximum values: - A portrait-oriented image (e.g., 1000x1500) is resized to approximately 100x150 - A landscape-oriented image (e.g., 1600x900) is resized to approximately 200x112

When should you change this value?

Reduce the value (e.g., to 150x100) if:

  • You want to save storage space

  • Loading times in lists are too long

  • You have many images in the database

Increase the value (e.g., to 300x225) if:

  • The thumbnails are too blurry or too small

  • Users complain that they cannot see the details

  • You use high-resolution monitors

Important notes

  1. Images that have already been uploaded will NOT be automatically recalculated. The change applies only to new uploads.

  2. Balance between quality and performance: - Larger values = better quality, but more storage space and slower loading times - Smaller values = faster performance, but fewer details visible

  3. Interaction with other parameters: - Should be smaller than MEDIUMIMAGESIZE - Should be significantly smaller than LARGEIMAGESIZE - Typical value sequence: 200x150 → 400x300 → 800x600

Security

Does changing this parameter affect security?

No, this parameter is not security-critical.

  • Image resizing occurs on the server side and cannot be manipulated externally

  • No security mechanisms are controlled by this parameter

  • Even extreme values (e.g., 10000x10000) do not pose a security risk

  • The actual image validation and verification takes place independently of this parameter

  • Permissions for image access remain unchanged

Conclusion: You can safely adjust this parameter without incurring any security risks.

Practical example

Initial situation:
A facility manager takes a photo of a conference room with their smartphone (4000x3000 pixels, 5 MB).

After upload (with default value 200x150): - Small version: 200x150 pixels, ~15 KB → displayed in lists - Medium version: 400x300 pixels, ~50 KB → displayed in
detail views - Large version: 800x600 pixels, ~150 KB → displayed when clicking "Full Screen" - Original: 4000x3000 pixels, 5 MB → used only for download

Result: The portal loads quickly, and the administrator saves 95% of storage space under normal use.

For most installations, the default value is 200x150 optimal. Only change it if you encounter specific issues.
