Add images to your dashboards via the Images button. Supported image formats include:
Other file formats might also be accepted.
The widget provides a number of ways to insert an image to match what you're trying to do.
Feature | Description |
---|---|
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. |
When images are uploaded, they are stored under a directory called 'My Images', which is a private area for each user. One user's images are not accessible to other users, so they cannot be edited or even seen within the Image Manager by other users. However, an image that has been published in a story or on a dashboard is as visible as the rest of the content.
Users granted the Save Corporate Images role (see the Admin section on this page for further details) will have the choice of saving image files to their My Images directory or the global Corporate Images area. Saving images in the Corporate Images makes them visible to all other users, who may use them on their own dashboards, presentations and stories. In addition, a user with the Save Corporate Images role can move an image from their My Images directory to the Corporate Images area. Images stored within Corporate Images cannot be moved into My Images.
There might be times where you'd like to replace one image for another without losing the properties of the existing image. Image properties include image name, size, opacity, location, background color, borders, padding and more. To preserve the properties of an existing image, use the Replace Image tool.
If an image is used in more than one place and you'd like to refresh it globally, you can switch the old image for a new image from the Image Manager. This allows the instant replacement of the image wherever it appears — dashboards, stories, presentations or any other content. In our steps below, we've used this image which appears in various dashboards, and in the example below, with a small company logo over the top of it.
