WebFront
The WebFront is used to display the variable. No further control or separate display is integrated.
To display the images in the 'Bildarchiv' category, a content divider can be added in the WebFront or a link of the category can be made.
Attention: It is not useful to link directly the images from the archive, because the updates change the ID's.
