Stockwell units should only have one item type per row. (one brand, flavor, and packaging type). The schema needs to be an accurate representation of the stock of the unit. Different product types should not be stacked on top of or behind one another. The schema should look like the units store front photo. Inaccurate schemas can cause loss and inventory issues.

Adding Images to your Products

Images will need to be linked to any new products the Stockwell website receives from ADM. Below are the steps on how to link images to a product

1. Click the 3 line icon in the top left on the Stockwell webapp.
   
2. Click Items. When a new item is added into ADM, it will automatically appear in the Stockwell Web App.
   • Contact 365Support if you are not seeing your items, or email support@stockwell.ai
     
     
3. Click on an item to see more details. Scroll down to where it says "images".
   
   
4. Click on any image option, "small, medium, or large".
   
   
5. Upload the image you would like to use for that product. The image can be in .jpeg or .png format. format.
   • The item images and dimensions (including item and image rotation) can be altered in the setting of any individual item. However, images should be cropped to the item packaging prior to uploading.
     • Item dimension and other settings are more easily controlled in the schema section explained below in the Schema Adjustments for Products section.
   • Uploading the large image will auto populate the medium and small images. The image dimensions in the schema will be changed based on item dimension settings of each individual item. Matching the item dimension settings to the product packaging dimensions and the cropped photo will result in an accurate image in the schema.
     
6. Select Save in the upper right corner.
   
   

Schema Adjustments for Products

After adding images to your schema product dimensions and other settings will need to be adjusted for an accurate schema setup.

Dimension Settings:
When in the Staging Tab for schema setup you can select an item by clicking on it in the staging schema. This will pull up several settings on the right side of you screen for the “Selected Item.”

The dimension settings for Hight and Width can be adjusted in this section.

The Height and Width settings ensure that schema shelf spacing is accurate. Item dimensions can be approximated. These settings will stretch and skew the images to match the dimensions, and it will push surrounding products into their correct spacing as dimensions are updated on all shelf products.

Stockwell Systems use both the item images and schema location to identify items. Proper dimensions help ensure that items can be identified by where they are pulled from along with the images.

• The ”Depth” Setting can be bypassed as this setting was only for legacy units.

Rotation Settings:
Some products (typically candy bars and other slender items) are placed on their sides in pushers for better use of space. If an item needs to be rotated this setting allows for that adjustment by 90 degrees.

Stack and Juxtapose Settings:

Stack - Stack allows you to set items on top of one another in the schema (usually items on the bottom shelf that are not in pushers).

Items typically in bowls and boxes can be stacked to utilize unit space more effectively. You will want to make sure these items can be clearly distinguished by the labeling on the side as well as the top. The link below covers the considerations that should be made when selecting items for Stockwell units.

Juxtapose - The juxtapose settings allow you to add multiple rows of an item side by side on a shelf.
