This method allows an easier method of shared Image usage.
Four51 designates a variable named four51sharedpath that contains the location of the shared resources in the application environment. This path differs between environments such as the demo, beta and production environment. You can override this value locally for testing. Define the variable and in the job preview set the local file path value.
