Image and Video Manager: Set Parameter
Use the Image and Video Manager: Set Parameter behavior to apply your custom Image and Video Manager policies or to force Image and Video Manager to serve a particular image width, format, or pixel density.
How it works
This behavior applies the parameters you set here, after the CDN receives the request. This is especially useful if your site’s image and video URLs already contain markers that map neatly to your Image and Video Manager policies. Likewise, if there are some cases where you don't want Image and Video Manager to choose the settings for your images and videos, you can add parameters to override Image and Video Manager’s choices.
- You can only include one parameter (policy name, widths, format, or pixel density) in each Image and Video Manager: Set Parameter behavior. For each parameter you want to set, add another instance of this behavior.
- You need to set up this behavior so that it precedes either the Image and Video Manager (Images), Image and Video Manager (Videos) behavior in your property rule tree. Otherwise, the parameters won't get applied.
Features and options
| Field | What it does | Sub-options |
|---|---|---|
| Parameter | Select the name of the parameter you want to set and the bottom field updates, so you can enter or select a value. |
|
| Policy Name | With Parameter set to Policy Name, enter the name of the policy you want to apply. If no valid policy name is specified (either with this behavior or a query string parameter), Image Manager applies the default policy. | |
| Width | With Parameter set to Width, enter the width (in pixels) of the images to serve. If the applied policy does not include that width, Image Manager serves the next largest. | |
| Format | With Parameter set to Format, force Image Manager to serve the image in the browser-optimized format specified. Use this to override the one-touch feature Use Best File Type. If set to Generic, Image Manager ignores formats that are browser specific, such as JPEG 2000, WebP, or JPEG XR (JPEG extended range). |
|
| Pixel Density | With Parameter set to Pixel Density, enter pixel density of the images to serve. Density is expressed as a multiplier where the value 1 is normal density. |
