Image (report component)

The report component type Image reports images (raster graphics). Images can either be attached in the component via the file manager or obtained from the attribute File name of an external reference. If images have been attached via the file manager, then only these will be reported.

Configuration:

Property	Description
Source	This shows which queries or attributes are configured to determine the image. You also have the possibility here to reference or create queries and attributes using the text box or the buttons to the right of the text box, which determine the External References from the context object or other objects with the File Name attribute . These objects provide the images that are embedded. Alternatively, you can insert images to be embedded via the file manager in the Source attribute. If you insert images via the file manager in the source attribute, only these will be reported.
Include in list of figures	If a list of figures is reported in the report, this property will include the generated figure in it.
Display	Categories can be referenced under this attribute. This can limit the visibility / execution. Most application scenarios require category and access control related visibility. The logic of the evaluation is as follows: If at least one category is specified, the object must be an instance of that category. Otherwise, no evaluation of the category are carried out If at least one user group is specified, the current user must be a member of at least one of these user groups If at least one Access Control List is specified, the user must have the View permission in the Access Control List If at least one condition component is specified, at least one condition must apply. If this logic is not sufficient, a differentiated logic can be configured via the condition components.

Property

Description

Source

This shows which queries or attributes are configured to determine the image. You also have the possibility here to reference or create queries and attributes using the text box or the buttons to the right of the text box, which determine the External References from the context object or other objects with the File Name attribute . These objects provide the images that are embedded.

Alternatively, you can insert images to be embedded via the file manager in the Source attribute. If you insert images via the file manager in the source attribute, only these will be reported.

Include in list of figures

If a list of figures is reported in the report, this property will include the generated figure in it.

Display

Categories can be referenced under this attribute. This can limit the visibility / execution.

Most application scenarios require category and access control related visibility.

The logic of the evaluation is as follows:

If at least one category is specified, the object must be an instance of that category. Otherwise, no evaluation of the category are carried out
If at least one user group is specified, the current user must be a member of at least one of these user groups
If at least one Access Control List is specified, the user must have the View permission in the Access Control List
If at least one condition component is specified, at least one condition must apply.

If this logic is not sufficient, a differentiated logic can be configured via the condition components.

Note: Images in texts of the text attribute (for example: Comment) and images inserted using the Image component should not be embedded in tables of reports. If texts with many images or images in high resolution are used, the output should be configured with the Paragraph component.
