What is it for?

An images is used for displaying pictures in a content item or on a page.

Styling

The presentation style of the image on the page (e.g. RightAligned) is specified when the image is used. An image has two sub-types - Upload and QRCode.

Uploading an image

The image first has to be imported into Blueriq Studio. Create a new image by clicking on the Image icon in the Documents tab of the ribbon. The following editor opens, and you can use the Image button to upload an image into Studio. Supported file formats are: jpg, gif, png, bmp and svg (svg images do not work in IE8). The imported image is shown in the editor (a place holder is shown for svg images).


SVG images are structured using XML. It is also possible to add Javascript to the SVG image. This could lead to possible XSS attacks (https://www.owasp.org/images/0/03/Mario_Heiderich_OWASP_Sweden_The_image_that_called_me.pdf). We advise to minimize the use of SVG images and check regularly for irregularities.



QRCode

When QR code is selected, an expression box appears in which you have to supply a string which is encoded as QR code at runtime. It is possible to add this QR code image to pages and documents.

   


Note that the QR code which is shown in studio is a placeholder which doesn't show the actual content URL.

    FYI: besides the formats above, .png-images are also accepted by Studio and displayed in the Runtime.
