Scan Image Component

The Scan Image Lighting Web Component can be added to the Lead and Contact pages in Salesforce to display scanned business card images, images added using the '2nd Photo' enhancement, and signatures. The Scan Image Component can be added to the Lead and Contact pages using the Lighting App Builder.

After you add the component to the Lead or Contact page, any business cards you save using the Scan app or Scanning queue will show up on the record page. You'll also see any additional images or signatures you've added with the '2nd Photo' and 'Signature' features from the scan app.

The Scan Image Component can be used to display scanned business card images and signatures instead of adding them via Page Layouts.
