'View on a wall' for Private Views links (Beta)

See your artworks to scale in a virtual gallery space using Private Views

By default, 'View on a wall' uses the main artwork image, and scales it according to the artwork width, as entered in the artwork record using the 'Calculate' function.  However, an override width and/or image can also be added specifically for use with View on a Wall.

Steps

Prepare your artwork settings

1. Log into your Artlogic database > Artworks > find the artworks you wish to use.
2. Click the pencil edit icon to open the artwork record you would like to activate 'View on a wall' for.
3. In the Artwork tab, enter dimensions > click the 'Calculate' link below the field > ensure you 'Apply' your dimensions. This is essential for the 'View on a wall' feature.
   
4. Next, head to the Private Views tab in the artwork record and turn on the 'Enable View on a wall' toggle.
   
5. Click 'Save'.

Optional: choose an overriding image and/or width

In some cases, you may wish to override the size of the main image and/or the image itself. This could be helpful if, for example, you wanted to show a work in a frame. If you specify an override width, the size of the entire image will be scaled proportionally.

1. Click 'Edit ‘View on a wall’ overrides' button to the right of the toggle
