Overview
Analytic Dashboard Designer supports the use of images when building dashboard views.
Images can be Static (image file) or Bound Images (e.g. images pulled in from a data source). Static images are displayed on the dashboard. Bound Images must be bound to a data source, and can be used like a normal data item with support for Master Filtering.
That said, static images will be the most typically used image type.
Working with Images
To load a static Image, complete the following:
| 1. | Select Images>Image from the toolbar |
| 2. | Click the Design Tab from the toolbar |
| 3. | Load or Import your image (see below) |
| 4. | Set the size mode. Options include: Clip, Stretch, Squeeze and Zoom |
| 5. | Set the image’s alignment in relation to the image data item container. |
For information on using Bound Images, please contact Clearview Support.
Image Tools
Images feature a specific set of design tools, available from the toolbar (some options are also available by right-clicking the image).
All toolbar items feature tool tips which explain (in short) the core functionality of the toolbar option.
Design Tab
Images allow the following design options.
| • | Show Caption - Shows/Hides the caption (e.g. “Grid 1” displayed at the top left of the dashboard item). |
| • | Edit Names - Used to configure display name for the Dashboard Item |
| • | Load Image - Loads an Image. Using this option provides the Dashboard with a path to the image file. This means if other users try to view the image and don’t have access to the location of the image file, the image will not load. |
| • | Import Image - Imports an Image. Unlike the Load Image option, Import actually saves the image file to the Dashboard. |
| • | Size Modes - Determines how the image will be displayed if the image size falls outside the borders of the data item container. |
| • | Alignment - Sets how the image should be aligned inside the data item container. |
