  4. In the Asset interface, you can perform the following actions:

    • Change the Name of the asset.
    • Change the Description of the asset.
    • Click URL to view the asset. This is equivalent to the linked ID on the Manage Images, CSS, and JS Assets interface. Also, note the navigation path to the asset; in our case, it is:

      http://127.0.0.1:8000/arc/reports/staticasset/raw/1.png

      In general, the link has the following form:

      [http|https]://ip_address/arc/reports/staticasset/raw/ID.file_extension

      Where ID is the ID of the asset as it appears on the interface, and file_extension is one of the supported file formats: png, jpg, css, or js.

    • To substitute the file by a newer version, click Change File and use the file system to select and upload a replacement.
    • Click Save after making changes.
