4. l Click Resources, Disk or Url, depending on where the image is located.
l Resources lists the images that are present in the Images folder on the
Resources pane.
l Disk lists image files that reside in a folder on a hard drive that is accessible
from your computer. Click the Browse button to select a folder (or an image in
a folder).
As an alternative it is possible to enter the path manually. You can give a local
path (e.g. C:\Images\Test.jpg) or use the "file" protocol. The complete syntax of
a fully qualified URL with the "file" protocol is:ī˜ƒfile://<host>/<path>.
Note: if the host isī˜ƒ"localhost", it can be omitted, resulting
inī˜ƒfile:///<path>, for example:
file:///c:/resources/images/image.jpg.
l Url lists image files from a specific web address. Select the protocol (http or
https), and then enter a web address (for example,
http://www.mysite.com/images/image.jpg).
Note
If a URL doesn't have a file extension, and the option Save with template is
not selected, the Select Image dialog automatically adds the filetype
parameter with the file extension as its value (for example: ?filetype=pdf
(if it is the first parameter) or &amp;filetype=pdf).
The filetype, page and nopreview parameters are not sent to the host;
they are used internally. Therefore, URLs that rely on one of these parameters
cannot be used.
l With an external image, you can check the option Save with template. If this option
is checked, the file will be inserted in the Images folder on the Resources pane at
the top left.
If it isn't saved with the template, the image remains external. Note that external
images need to be available when the template is merged with a record set to
generate output, and that 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.
