Setup & Considerations

Item images reside on the Blish-Mize web site. For the Catalog feature to display images in the application, you may need to allow access to https://www.blishmize.com/prd-img/web/ through your company's firewall(s). The FTP (File Transfer Protocol) site used for data exchange is ftp.blishmize.com which also should be allowed through any firewall(s).
