Adding an image to a workspace home page

To customize a workspace home page, you can add an image to the page. To add an image, you create a module for images and define a view that displays an element in the module. Then, you display the view in a window on the home page.

Before you begin

To add a new module, you must be a workspace administrator.

Procedure

  1. Add a module for storing image files. You might name the module Images.
  2. Click Configure > Attributes, and add a file attribute to a module.
  3. In the file attribute, in the Name field, remove the following default text: New File Attribute. Click OK. In the attribute list, the attribute is displayed as Untitled.
  4. In the title attribute, make sure that the Name field is empty.
    1. In the attribute list, click Title.
    2. In the Name field, remove the default text Title, and click OK.
    In the attribute list, the attribute is displayed as Untitled.
  5. Replace the default prefix in the module.
    1. Click Configure > Modules > Images.
    2. In the list Prefix Attribute, select None, and then click OK.
  6. Create an element in the module, and upload your image to the element. Note the value in the ID attribute because you need that value in the view definition.
  7. Create a view that displays only the image.
    1. Create the following view rule:
      Show elements whose ID is element ID
      where element ID is the ID of the uploaded image.
    2. For the file attribute, select Visible.
    3. Set all of the other attributes in the view to None, and then click OK.
  8. Add the view to your home page.
    1. In the control palette, click Preferences > My home settings.
    2. Click Add window > View, and select the created view.
    3. Edit the text in the Window Title field and click OK.

What to do next

Open the workspace home page and verify that the image is displayed.
