How to insert a linked image

You can insert an image directly on the page or in any container element.

  1. Drag the image element from the palette and drop it in the desired location on the page.
  2. New Image Item appears.

  3. In Select picture from, select URI.
  4. Under Enter URI, specify the location of the image file. Enclose the URI in double quotation marks (" ").
  5. The following expression is an example for specifying a URL of a remote location:
    "http://mysite.com/images/companylogo.jpg" 
    
    The following expression is an example for specifying a local file system location:
    "file:///c:/myprojects/images/companylogo.jpg" 
    
    You would specify a local file system location only for testing in the early stages of report development. A deployed report cannot access resources on a local machine.
  6. Choose Preview to view the image.
  7. Choose Insert to insert the image in the report.
  8. The image appears on the page.
