Jive users can insert images and attach files to documents, blog posts, and discussion messages. Using the admin console, you can configure support for images and attachments.
Admin Console: System > Settings > Attachments
Admin Console: System > Settings > Images
Users can attach a file to most content types. Attached files show up as links at the bottom of published content so that others may click to view the attachment. Attachments can be documents, images, videos, etc. When a user attaches an image, a preview of the image shows with its link. Users can also insert images by clicking the camera button in the editing pane. Inserted images are displayed in the content itself. So, attached files and images show up as links at the bottom of the content; inserted images are rendered directly in the content.
Quantity and size. If you find that users are attaching many large files and the application is slower as a result, consider creating limits by adjusting the size and quantity settings.
Unless otherwise specified, image sizes are specified in pixels and attachment sizes are specified in kilobytes (preview in pixels).
Note that some of the settings are interrelated. For example, if you want users to be able to attach more images to a document than they are currently allowed to, you'll need to make two changes: increase the Maximum number of images per object on the Images page and increase the Max number of attachments per document on the Attachments page.
Thumbnails and previews. An image embedded in content can display as a thumbnail if it's too big (based on height and width you specify). Images that are merely attached to content can display a preview, which makes it easier for people to see whether it's the image they want before clicking its attachment link. The maximum preview or thumbnail dimensions refer to the height or width of the item; a value of 250 means a thumbnail will not exceed 250 pixels in height or width.
Content type settings let you specify which kinds of content (as determined by their MIME type) should be allowed as embedded images or attached files. You might find that some content file types aren't needed (or are in fact unwanted). You can prevent some kinds of files from being uploaded by "disallowing" them (specifying their MIME content type). If you change these settings, be sure to change it on both the Image and Attachments pages.
