1 Overview

The Information Centre can display images and multimedia but how do you do it cleanly and correctly?

This article discusses a number of different media types and options.

2 Images

A web page is not like a Word document. Embedding pictures is not as easy. A bit of work has to be done first.

There are a few options.

2.1 Option 1 - Unsecure images

If you have a general image you want to include get the URL of the image. This can be done from Google Images or many other sources.

Go to https://www.google.ie type in your keywords Click on Images Click the image you want Click "View Image" Copy the URL of the image from the address bar

Alternately you can use a feature of Firefox of Chrome called "Copy Image Location"

With the URL you can now put this into your Information Centre message.

Lets take an example URL. The bxp logo from the main http://www.bxpsoftware.com website. The URL is http://www.bxpsoftware.com/wp-content/themes/bxp/images/headerLogo.png

Open your Information Centre message.

Main Menu > Information Centre > General > Add Item to the Information Centre >

Go to the body and locate the icon.

In source put in the URL and put in a description as well

When done click ok
