Title: Inserting an Image onto a report
Post by: bi4u2 on 14 May 2012 02:07:38 PM
I need to insert a company logo onto a report studio report. Time is of the essence and we are having trouble finding the correct contact in IT to save the logo to the Images directory and also enable the webdav property on IIS. Is there a way to drop an image directly onto a report without having to link to a URL and a virtual directory?

Yes, if you know the essential part of the path :

../samples/images/Some_logo.gif

(in this case images folder stored under samples)

I have a report template where an image has been added to it with no picture designated. is there a way to get an image tagged in this spot now - either through updating ther templates.xml fiel with the path or something.

Basicaslly trying to get the image onto the report template where a placeholder is already there for it.

Thanks

Bret

Hi
You can also add image in a location c10-64/webcontent/common/images folder.
C:\Program Files\ibm\cognos\c10_64\webcontent\common\images


Then in RS
take an image item
Select the image item and go to properties
select url and add below code
http://localhost/ibmcognos/common/images/lmgname.jpg
You will get it.
