Insert Image

The Insert Image dialog box is used to select the image file to use in a report. It varies according to how the image will be used: as an image component in a report or as the pointer in a gauge chart.

When the Insert Image dialog box is opened by selecting Menu > Insert > Image or dragging Image from the Toolbox panel into the current report, it helps you to insert an image into the report and contains the following options.
