Adding an Image to a Page/Dashboard

Overview 

If a user wishes to further customize their Page/Dashboard, they may do so by utilizing an Image component within the Page Designer. This component in turn allows the user to apply their desired image to their Page/Dashboard. This can be used to apply relevant images, such as a company's logo to the Dashboard to provide a more personal and custom user experience. The following document demonstrates how to add and format images in a Page/Dashboard via the Image component.

Example 

1. From the Decisions Studio, either Open a preexisting Page/Dashboard, or select CREATE REPORT from the Global Action Bar, then CREATE a new Page. 
2. From the Page Designer, drag an Image component into the desired section of the workspace, by dragging and dropping the component from Toolbox > FAVORITES onto the Page. 
3. Select the Image component on the Page, then under Properties > COMPONENT SETTINGS > Image, select the Edit (denoted by a pencil icon) button. 
4. From the Pick Image window, select then PICK the desired Image (this example uses an image from the From Library option). 
   Additional Information on Pick Image 

   From the Pick Image window, users are provided three separate methods from which they select images.
   
   

   • The From Library window allows users to select an Image from the default Image Library in Decisions. These Images are sorted into their respective categories on the left.
     If desired, users may control the Color of the Image via the Color Picker. Additionally, they may also provide an enlarged view of the Image via the Zoom control. Depending on the size of the Image and the space it is being placed into, Zooming may be required to reduce blurriness/pixelation of the Image. 
   • The From File option allows users to Constant map their desired file via the File Picker. Images may be added by clicking CHOOSE FILE or by dragging the file into the Drag file here.
   • The From Url option allows users to add an Image by providing a valid URL for an Image file. Additionally, users may embed the Image via the Embed Image Boolean.  

   

   
   

5. After the Image is added, additional parameters may be adjusted via Properties > SETTINGS.  Under Part Type select the desired option. 

   Additional Information on Part Type Settings 

   The Part Type dropdown allows users to dictate how to display the Image. The options are as follows:

   • BaseContent: This is the default, and gives the appearance that the Header Container is its own distinguished section of the Page.
   • Container: Makes the Header Container transparent.
   • Child: Shrinks the Title Bar to make it appear secondary to the default BaseContent setting.
   • Chromeless: Makes the Header Container transparent, and strips away the header so the Container renders it without any appearance-related properties.

   

   
   

6. If desired select Yes under Hide Title Bar or Use Small Titlebar. 

   
   

7. Once the Image is added, the Image may be stretched and expanded, by selecting the Image, then clicking any of the orange arrows to expand the image in that direction. 

   Additional Information on Adjusting Image Size 

   Adjusting the size of the Image via this method expands the Image across cells in the direction of the arrows. 
   Alternately, if desired, users may click the arrows in the opposite direction to decrease the size of the Image. 

   

   
   

8. Once desired configurations have been made, Save the Page, then close via X.
