Setting the Display Image

Civic Platform provides you with the ability to assign a graphical representation to a record, similar to a logo. You choose from the list of uploaded photo attachments on the record and set one as the display image. After the display image is assigned to the record, it displays on the Record detail screen as shown in Display Image on the Record Detail Page. You can modify the display image at anytime by clearing the old display image and assigning a new one.

Note:

Not all file types can be used as a display image. You will receive an error message during the set display image process if you select an attachment in a file format that is not configured for display images. Contact your agency administrator for a list of compatible file format types, such as JPG.
