Image vs Basic Image field types and when to use which?

[Prakhar7]

We have two Field Types in Now Platform to store images:

1. Image
• name: user_image
• attributes: pdf_cell_type=image
2. Basic image
• name: image
• attributes: pdf_cell_type=basic_image

What is the difference between them and when should we use which one?

HI @Prakhar ,

Can you tell me from where did you find "Basic Image" as a field type? what are you trying to implement?

As Image fields enable you to add images to forms. For example, you can add portraits to the user records in your system. The image type must be .gif, .jpg/.jpeg, or .png.

Mark my answer correct & Helpful, if Applicable.

Thanks,

Sandeep

I was aware of Image field type till now, but in a table when I tried filling in Image as field type, it showed me 2 auto-suggest options, Image &  Basic Image. The only difference I could find was the pdf_cell_type attribute.

You should use "image" field type.
