Managing images
Jive users can include images in content of different types, or import images to places as separate pieces of content and gather them into collections. You can configure the options for importing and using images in places.
- Understanding embedded, attached, and uploaded images Images attached to content or uploaded as content are handled and displayed differently than images that are inserted by using the insert image option.
- Configuring settings for embedded images Jive users can insert images in content of different types, such as documents and blog posts. The Images settings control the behavior of embedded images, as opposed to images that are attached to content as links.
Admin Console: System > Settings > Images
You can use the Images settings to enable and disable image embedding in content, specify the maximum number and size of images, and determine when and how they should be displayed as thumbnails. Unless otherwise specified, image sizes are specified in pixels. These settings do not affect images that are attached to content as links.
Note: You can use the Attachments settings under System > Settings > Attachments to determine how previews of attached images are displayed. For more information, see Configuring settings for attachments.
Content type settings
Content type settings let you specify which kinds of images (as determined by their MIME type) should be allowed to be embedded. If you want to prevent some kinds of images from being uploaded, you can add them to the Disallowed Content Type list. For more information, see Configuring settings for attachments.
Embedding images
There are two ways to embed an image. You can upload an image From Your computer or directly From the web.
If you have an existing image from your computer, select From Your Computer. Alternatively, if you want to embed an image using a web link, choose the From the web option and enter the image URL.
Note: When embedding images using a web URL, the Disallowed Content Type list is ignored, which may result in uploading images with restricted file types.
