Adding an image

You can replace the standard icons that Analyst's Notebook uses for icon, theme line, and event frame representations with custom images. An image can help to provide extra information.

About this task

When you add an image to an entity, it is shown instead of the entity type icon. Images can be used on the Representation Types: icons, theme lines, and event frames. For example, you can use photographs to show people, or CCTV images to chart a sequence of events.

  1. Right-click an item, and select Edit Item Properties. The Edit window is shown.
