Select Image dialog
The Select Image dialog lets you select an image, depending on where the image is located.
Resources: lists the images that are present in the Images folder on the Resources pane. A preview of the selected image will be shown at the right.
Disk: lets you select an image file that resides in a folder on a hard drive that is accessible from your computer. A preview of the selected image will be shown below.
- Path. The complete syntax of the path is: file://<host>/<path>. Note: if the host is "localhost", it can be omitted, resulting in file:///<path>, for example: file:///c:/resources/images/image.jpg.
- Browse: opens an explorer window to browse folders and select an image.
Url lets you select an image file from a specific web address. Select the protocol and then enter the URL (for example, http://www.mysite.com/images/image.jpg). A preview of the selected image will be shown below.
The option Save with template, available when choosing an image from disk or by URL, inserts the file in the Images folder on the Resources pane. If not saved with the template, the image will remain external.
External images need to be available when the template is merged with a record set to generate output, and their location should be accessible from the machine on which the template's output is produced. External images are updated (retrieved) at the time the output is generated.
