Add Images to Report Designs

Add Images to Report Designs

Create a report design file.
You can add 2 types of images to your report designs: images that are part of a layout, such as company logos, and images that Workday returns as reports results data.
  1. Drag an
    Image
    report item from the
    Palette
    to the required position on the
    Layout
    tab of the main view.
  2. Select a source for your image. As you do so, consider:
    Option
    Description
    URI
    This option enables you to specify a web link to an image. You can also specify tokens, which you create in the Workday application by uploading images to the business form layout configuration. Using tokens means that you don't have to update your report design when you change an image in Workday. Report Designer displays a placeholder for token images, rather than the image itself.
    Embedded image
    This option enables you to browse to an image file. Report Designer embeds the image in the report design.
    Dynamic image
    This option enables you to include images that are returned as report results data.
  3. To add a URI, enter the web link or token in the
    Enter URI
    field.
  4. To add an embedded image, click
    Add Image
    and browse to the file that you want to add.
  5. To add a dynamic image, click
    Select Image Data
    . The
    Select Data Binding
    window displays.
  6. From the
    Data Set
    drop-down list, select the data set from which to retrieve the image.
  7. Select the check box beside the row that contains the image. Click
    OK
    . The dynamic image expression is inserted into the
    Enter dynamic image expression
    field.
    Report fields that were defined using the
    Base64 Image Data
    field display as images within PDF documents only.
