Adding an Image

[WKar]

This may be a dumb question, but I want to add an image to a report.  Its saying there is a "web server error" (see attached) so it won't allow me to browse for an image.  The image I want to add resides on my computer.  What do I need to do, or where do I need to put my image in order to add it to my report??

Thanks so much

There is a special folder in the Cognos install directory on the server. You should place your images there. (and point to the location from the report)

Remember that Cognos8 is webbased, your client is only used for browsing the C8 content and for displaying report (in any mode)

Hi,


Just place your image in <Installed Drive>/Program Files/cognos/c8/webcontent/samples/images
and then drag and drop a image and specify the path of your image along with the extention of your image file.

Ex: ../samples/images/image.jpg


Thanks,

Hi Dhav,

If you see in my example path  [Ex: ../samples/images/image.jpg] there are two dots [..] that itself will define the server path, the report is from which ever is the cognos server it will refer to that path, and it directly means that <CogServer> C:\cognos8\Webcontent\Samples\images\image.jpg

Thanks,
