How does adding images to html pages with HTML Composer work in MRE? I'm new to Webfocus development, and I've been trying to figure out how everything links together. If I add an image via Insert -> Components -> Image, it defaults to the Other grouping for the domain I'm in to select images. I've copied the code it generates for the image I inserted through the GUI and pasted it back into the HTML, and that image will not display. So I'm not sure what magic it is doing. Our images will be reused on most pages, and it seems silly to me to copy them under each domain I'm running the report from. Our consultant here suggested creating a new application under our data server for things we'll be re-using. I tried to pick the image there, but it just copies into the other grouping for the domain I’m running the report from and doesn’t actually use the location of the image where I selected it. When using HTML Composer, how do you link to an image in the Server Application? Is this not the right way to go?This message has been edited.

You'll notice that it does that not only with images but also with any other component you want to insert. For instance, if you have a JavaScript library or CSS file available through you application server via a URL and try to add a reference to it in HTML composer, it will indeed get a copy of those files, place them in the "Other" folder in the domain and change the internal reference to a relative path to the domain as opposed to a full URL. To actually use "shared" components I've always had to go back to the source code and manually change the src="" properties to point to my centralized components. I then physically remove those silly copies from "Other" as it just enhances the risk of having non-synchronized logic across the environment. Why is that? I don't know but perhaps someone from the product division can help us understand why that was implemented that way instead of allowing for a full URL-based reference to components.This message has been edited.

Anything referenced in Managed Reporting must be in the MR repository. That is why the files are copied there.
