Using background images in the configuration library

To view the delivered background images that you can use in HR Talent, select Administrator > Utilities > Configuration Library > Background Images.

HR Talent is delivered with a set of general background images that you can use as a background image on any LP object that supports a background image, such as a composite form, a page, or a dashboard panel.

You can select a background image from several options:

BackgroundBlueGradient
BackgroundBlueGreenGradient
BackgroundBlueLights
BackgroundClouds1
BackgroundClouds2
BackgroundClouds3
BackgroundPearl
BackgroundRaindrops
BackgroundRainWindow
BackgroundSand1
BackgroundSand2
BackgroundSunlight
BackgroundWaterOnGlass

To preview available background images, follow these steps:

Sign in as an administrator.
Select Administration > Utilities > Configuration Library > Background Images.
Select an image to preview and click the Preview button. A page with a dashboard panel is opened in a new tab. The selected image displays in the background of the dashboard panel. To see the LPL for the preview page, perform a Ctrl+Shift+Click on the page header.

To add a background image, sign in as an administrator and use the Configuration Console to configure a composite form or page.

To add a background image to a composite form, add

background is image.<image
               name>

. You can add a background image to the entire composite form, a context form, or a dashboard panel on the composite form. For example, to add BackgroundBlueGradient to a dashboard panel on a composite form:

XiEmployeePersonalForm is a CompositeForm
    title is "Personal_Profile_-_<Name.PreferredFirstAndLastName>"
    Personal is a DashBoardPanel
        background is image.BackgroundBlueGradient
        show 3 columns
        PersonalInformation is a Panel
            double height
            form is XiEmployeeProfilePersonalInformationForm
            overview navigation is XiEmployeePersonalNav

To add a background image to a page, add

background is <image
               name>

. You can add a background image to the entire page, a context form, or a dashboard panel on the page. For example, to add BackgroundBlueGradient:

HealthAndSafetyAdministrationHome is a Page
    title is "HealthAndSafetyHome"

    HealthAndSafetyAdministrationHome is a DashBoardPanel
        title is "HealthAndSafetyAdministrationHome"
        background is BackgroundBlueGradient

To define your own custom image and use that image as a background image, follow these steps:

Create a UIUserImagesOnStartPages configuration parameter so that images stored in the UserImage business class can be used on pages.
For more information, see Modifying images on application start pages in the Configuration Console for Rich Client guide in the Landmark developer documentation.
Upload a custom image to the UserImage business class.
Use the Configuration Console to add a background image to a composite form or page using the guidelines listed above.
```
XiEmployeePersonalForm is a CompositeForm
    title is "Personal_Profile_-_<Name.PreferredFirstAndLastName>"
    Personal is a DashBoardPanel
        background is image.SampleImage
        show 3 columns
        PersonalInformation is a Panel
            double height
            form is XiEmployeeProfilePersonalInformationForm
            overview navigation is XiEmployeePersonalNav
```
In this example, SampleImage is the name of an image that has been uploaded to the UserImage business class and added as a background image to a dashboard panel on a composite form.
