This guide will teach you:
1. Add an image widget to the page
To add an image widget to the page, all you have to do is click on it and drag and drop it on the page.
If you would like to create columns and split your content into more widgets, then first you would need to select the number of columns you want.
You can find all the different column formats in the layout widgets.
Then you can drag and drop the column widget on your page and add the image widget to the column.
A new pop-up window will open where you can select the file you want to upload.
Once the upload is complete, the image will be displayed on the page.
Note that uploaded images are compressed to some degree. Keep in mind that there may be some minor quality loss. In visuals this is hardly noticeable but you might notice it in the text inside of your image.
Uploaded images can be up to 2MB in size. When the image is larger than 800 by 800 pixels, it will be resized so the largest dimension is 800 pixels.
Example: 1000x500 pixels will be scaled down to 800x400 pixels.
Images containing small or thin text are the most sensitive to noticeable quality loss. We recommend putting the text inside of a text widget and uploading the image as a background to the widget as explained here.
Here is an example of a banner. This is a 4-8 column, on the left there is an image widget and on the right a text widget with additional information.
2. Additional settings
Select the image widget and then at the right of the screen click on the gear button. The widget list will be replaced by the additional settings.
Here you can find the following settings:
1. ID
This is the ID of the widget. You can use this to target this specific widget if you're adding CSS to your report.
2. Name
You can name your widget in order to identify it easier.
3. Rules
You can add your widget logic rules to ensure that your content will be visible only when the conditions are true.
When you click the Edit rule button a new pop-up window will appear.
Select from the dropdown menu the option you want, and then fill in all the required fields. Once you add everything you can click the Submit button.
Your content will not be displayed on the page anymore, instead of the content you will be able to see the widget logic rules.
If you would like to edit your content again just click on the rule and the widget will expand. To edit the rule you would have to click on the Edit rule at the settings.
This is the window where you can delete the rule by clicking on the Delete rule button.
4. Margins
Add margins to create space around elements and move them in your page. By default the margins are set to 0, but you can change that anytime and add the margin you prefer.
5. Image settings
Here you can change the dimensions of your image. If you want to stretch the image, then you have to disable the Keep ratio toggle. You can also horizontally align your image within the widget.
6. Link
You can add a clickable hyperlink to your image. When you print your PDF and you click the image, you will be redirected to the link you added.
7. Borders
You can add borders, select the color, the style and the line width.
3. Additional buttons
When you click on your widget, 4 blue buttons appear.
The Arrow allows you to move between the different layers of the page. For example if you add a widget in a column then you have 3 layers: the page, the column and the widget. The arrow allows you to quickly select a different layer.
The second icon, the four arrow sign, allows you to move your widget up or down to the page.
The third icon, the page, allows you to copy this widget, and the forth icon, the bin, to delete it.
