For each rack you can set it's picture by clicking on Set Picture... button and then selecting the picture file.

 

Note : Once the racks used are free, i.e., it contains no glasses in it, then you would like to reuse those racks. For this purpose, you have to manually reduce the Used Qty field by the number of racks that are returning. Typically for insulated glass units, this happens when the glasses are send to the insulating line for making the units.
