Inserting Images

There are two categories of images you can use to enhance these visuals: uploaded from the local machine, from the static assets that are already incorporated into Arcadia Enterprise.

It is very simple to resize the images after they are added to the visual: either by directly editing in code view, or through the Resizing an Image

Images from Local Machine

To insert an image into a visual from a local directory, follow these steps. Note that Arcadia Enterprise automatically adds these images to the static assets it manages.

  1. In the Rich-Text Editor, click (Picture) icon.

    This opens the Insert Image modal window.

  2. In the Insert Image interface, under the Select from files field, click Choose Files, and then select an image file from your file system. Click Insert Image.

  3. Note that Arcadia Enterprise automatically converts the image into a static asset.

    When you click on the (code) icon, it shows a link to the image inside the staticasset database.

    In this example, the link appears as asset_id.image_type, where asset_id is assigned automatically based on the order of upload, and image_type is consistent with the format of the uploaded file, such as png.

Images from Static Assets

To insert an image that has been previously uploaded to the system as a static asset, follow these steps:

  1. In the Rich-Text Editor, click (Picture) icon.

    This opens the Insert Image modal window.

  2. In the Insert Image interface, provide the address of the image in the Image URL field, and then click Insert Image.

    The format for inserting existing static assets follows:

    ip-address:port-address/arc/reports/staticassets/raw/asset-id.asset-type

    Where asset_id is the ID of an asset already imported into the system, and asset-type is the file extension.

    In our example, we are loading asset 1.png.

Resizing an Image

To resize an image inside the visual, follow these steps:

  1. Open the rich text visual in Edit mode.
  2. Click on the image, and select one of the magnification controls: 100%, 50%, or 25%.
