FeatureDescription

Use the dropdown to filter by recently accessed images, images uploaded by the logged in user (My images), or images that have been saved as Corporate images

Use the search bar to refine the list of images — useful for anyone who has built a substantial library of images and knows what they're looking for. Type some text and use your Enter key to see the results of your search.

Click on or drag this button for fast access to upload a new image. After clicking on this button and selecting your image to upload, you have the option to resize and crop it. You can also add a name and description to use with future image searches.

Hover over the top right corner of any existing image and click on the blue circle to see an enlarged version of the image. From there you can also view and edit the image properties and delete the image if required.
From here, you can click and drag the image you want to use onto the Presentation canvas

You can perform all of the above within the Image Manager. From the Image Manager, you can also change the sort order and information displayed for each image. Read more about Image Manager features.

How to add a new image

  1. Click on the Images button on the left side of the screen.



    The panel will expand to display  a list of searchable images and a button to add a new image if required.


  2. Drag the Add Image button.



  3. This will bring up the Image Upload screen, where you can drag and drop files or upload from your computer.



  4. Once the file is uploaded, a preview will appear. Here, you can crop and resize the image, and give it a name and description.



  5. When your image is ready, click on the dropdown to select a storage location. The default location is the folder called My Images. which is your own secure storage area. To share an image with others, use the Corporate Images folder.



    Note: By default Corporate Images is read-only for all user roles: to make it accessible, system administrators need to edit the role, expand the Administration section and click on the checkbox for Save Corporate Images.

  6. Click on the Save Image button when you're ready.
    The image will automatically be added to your workspace.



  7. Customize the image via the Image Properties panel on the right. This panel appears whenever you click on an image. Refer to the table below to learn more.
  8. You can also add an action event that will be triggered when this widget is clicked. See the Actions section in the widget's properties table below for more information.
  9. Additional options are available by right-clicking and using the menu that appears. Learn more about the menu options here.

  6.  If the image is skewed, right-click on it and click on Reset Image Size from the pop-up menu. The image will be reset to its original size without losing any of its other properties.
