This article describes how to set up a background by inserting images and shapes from the Images and Shapes menu. When you go into the Page Master, you can see the different page layouts on the left (Title Only, Blank, etc.). You can create backgrounds for these pages by inserting images and shapes from the Insert tab.
Requirements
-
You will need to:
- Create a new Document by selecting + New Document in the Document Settings
- Or, open an existing Displayr Document
Please note this requires the Data Stories module or a Displayr license.
Method
Get creative and design a background for your dashboard e.g., add a block of color, a photo, or a logo. To insert a background image:
-
To access the Page Master, click on the Menu button
at the top left of the screen as shown below.
- Click on Image and select your image.
- Make sure the image fills the page by dragging it to size.
- Images are automatically compressed to optimize resolution vs load time in browsers online. You may wish to turn this off or also enable it for exporting via the General > IMAGE COMPRESSION menu.
- Do this for every page type you want to have a background under the Master tree.
- To return from the Page Master view, click the
button at the top right of the screen. This will take you back to the Normal view where you carry on creating your report.
- OPTIONALLY: You can just import images ad-hoc with Insert > Text and Images > Image.
