Hi,
Hi
You can also add image in a location c10-64/webcontent/common/images folder.
C:\Program Files\ibm\cognos\c10_64\webcontent\common\images


Then in RS
take an image item
Select the image item and go to properties
select url and add below code
http://localhost/ibmcognos/common/images/lmgname.jpg
You will get it.

Layout component references might have been a better choice for this implementation. I believe changing a template only helps you for any NEW reports created using that template, but does nothing for you in terms of updating previously authored reports.

I think you need to change each of the existing reports. Maybe I'm wrong and others will provide a better answer ... I always use layout component references.

This happened to me recently, and I had to open each report and copy + paste the new URL.
