Embedding images, HTML, and links
There are many components that we can add to our dashboards to make them more attractive and useful. Images or backgrounds are one of them. Often customers ask to add a company logo to the documents or a link to the corporate portal. We can also embed HTML code (or JavaScript) inside a dashboard, a very good feature that we can leverage to accomplish things that couldn't be done otherwise. Security-concerned people may raise an eyebrow: it indeed poses a security issue, please check your company policies regarding this matter.
Getting ready
We are creating a brand new dashboard, so no special requirements.
How to do it...
Create a new document (Blank Dashboard template) and:
Click on the green plus icon inside the gray area and from the drop-down menu select Image and wait a couple of seconds.
The Properties and Formatting window appears with the Image Source textbox. Type a URL to an image, for example: http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130504095628/gtawiki...
