    how to create image field for our custom table without using Employee picture
    Hi Aarthi Madhavan,
     
    You can simply add the picture field to your custom table. To upload and display the picture, I suggest creating an additional list part page, similar to what's available on the default customer page, and attaching that list part to your custom page.
     
    You can also include functions for taking pictures and importing them. Here's an example of how I added a picture in the purchase invoice, where it wasn't initially available out of the box... to create the list part that captures pictures from your camera, you can refer to the example..
     
    tableextension 80003 PurchaseHeaderExt extends "Purchase Header"
{
    fields
    {
        field(50100; PurchInvoiceImage; Media)
        {
            Caption = 'Purchase Invoice Picture';
        }
    }
}

pageextension 80003 PurchaseInvoiceExt extends "Purchase Invoice"
{
    layout
    {
        addbefore(IncomingDocAttachFactBox)
        {
            part(PurchaseInvoicePicture; PurchaseInvoicePicture)
            {
                ApplicationArea = All;
                SubPageLink = "Document Type" = field("Document Type"),
                                                "No." = field("No.");
            }
        }
    }
}

page 80003 PurchaseInvoicePicture
{
    Caption = 'Purchase Invoice Picture';
    PageType = CardPart;
    DeleteAllowed = false;
    InsertAllowed = false;
    LinksAllowed = false;
    UsageCategory = Administration;
    SourceTable = "Purchase Header";

    layout
    {
        area(Content)
        {
            field(PurchInvoiceImage; Rec.PurchInvoiceImage)
            {
                ApplicationArea = All;
                ShowCaption = false;
                ToolTip = 'Specifies the picture of the purchase invoice.';
            }
        }
    }
    actions
    {
        area(processing)
        {
            action(TakePicture)
            {
                ApplicationArea = Basic, Suite;
                Caption = 'Take';
                Image = Camera;
                ToolTip = 'Activate the camera on the device.';

                trigger OnAction()
                begin

                    Rec.TestField(Rec."No.");
                    Camera.AddPicture(Rec, Rec.FieldNo(PurchInvoiceImage));

                end;
            }
            action(DeletePicture)
            {
                ApplicationArea = Basic, Suite;
                Caption = 'Delete';
                Enabled = DeleteExportEnabled;
                Image = Delete;
                ToolTip = 'Delete the record.';

                trigger OnAction()
                begin
                    Rec.TestField(Rec."No.");

                    if not Confirm(DeleteImageQst) then
                        exit;

                    Clear(Rec.PurchInvoiceImage);
                    Rec.Modify(true);
                end;
            }
        }
    }

    trigger OnAfterGetCurrRecord()
    begin
        SetEditableOnPictureActions;
    end;

    var
        Camera: Codeunit Camera;
        DeleteImageQst: Label 'Are you sure you want to delete the picture?';
        DeleteExportEnabled: Boolean;

    local procedure SetEditableOnPictureActions()
    begin
        DeleteExportEnabled := Rec.PurchInvoiceImage.HasValue;
    end;
}
     
    For importing pictures, you can find detailed information in Zhu's blog.
