Image

With this element, a static image of your choice can be saved on the server and displayed in the application. The element can also be used to protect against entries from bots.

The "Image" application element belongs to the "Images and files" element category.

The image element can be found in the "Applications" module in the "Elements" area. A new image element can be created by positioning the element on the workspace from here using drag & drop.

Further information on creating elements can be found here.

The properties dialog of an image element opens automatically when a new image element is created. The properties dialog of an existing screen element can be opened by double-clicking on the element on the workspace, via the "Properties" context menu or via the "Edit / Properties" main menu if the screen element is selected on the workspace.
