Image

This topic describes the options and limitations available when using an Image component.

Content settings

Source

This setting specifies what the source is for the image to be displayed. There are basically two options for the Source of images:

• URL-based images use references to image files on the Internet. These are easier to set up, but can be less reliable if you do not control the ownership and location of the image file.
• Infor Document Management (IDM)-based images use image files that are stored in the IDM. These are more complicated to set up, but are typically more reliable in terms of maintenance.

Interactions

Trigger Event

The Image component can trigger the On Load event.

This event might display as:

• Data Service has run (On Load), where Data Service is the name of a data service assigned to the component
• On Load (No Data Service), where no data service has been assigned to the component

Target Action

Depending on the target, the Image component can perform a Get operation, a Run operation, or a Clear operation on the target component.

Style settings

Position

This setting has these options:

• Fill

  When this option is selected, App Builder stretches or shrinks the image so that it fills the entire space of the container.

  This can result in unexpected results and distort the image. If you choose this option, it is a good idea to make the container the same size as the image object, or at least has the same exact aspect ratio.

• Fit

  When this option is selected, App Builder enlarges or reduces the size of the image, while keeping the original aspect ratio of the image object.

  Depending on the aspect ratio of the container, this means that you might have blank areas on either side of the image object or above and below it.

• Center (default)

  When this option is selected, App Builder places the image object in the center of the container at its original size and aspect ratio.
