Picture

An image of the contact, or a company's logo, etc.  When filled, it appears in the Display Panel, the Call Report, and the Contact List.

Ascendis Caller ID will not resize the picture, and large pictures will use a lot of space and will be clipped in the Display Panel.  We recommend images about 100 pixels tall, depending on whether you've resized the display panel.

To add a picture, you can:

1) drag an image file (JPG or BMP) onto the Picture rectangle from Windows Explorer

2) right-click on the Picture rectangle and choose "Load from File"

3) copy an image to the clipboard from another program, then right-click on the Picture rectangle and choose "Paste"
