When I started using Dynamics CRM 2013, I found a new field type added called "Image". Initially, I thought it would allow developers to put an image on a CRM form and that "Image" can be of any type. Later, I came to realize that the "Image" type is referring an image that is being put to the entity record, which the user can update and change like in Office 365.
Developers can use the "Image" type by following the below steps
For some system entities, the "Image" field is available by default. Each entity has one "Image" field.
Below are the entities which have the "Image" field available by default. Though every entity below has an "Image" field, displaying an image requires an additional step. In the entity information, developers have to set the "Primary Image" field values to either 'None' or 'Entity Image'.
To display the entity's image record choose the 'Entity Image' option. Also, at the form level developers have to select 'Show Image' on the form check box. This way, the CRM record can show an image.
