Questions about images in Interfaces

Hi all, 

I have just passed the Appian Designer test. However, much of it was theory. I am not practically trying to build applications and need some help. I have some questions on images: 

 

1. How do I simply add an Appian Icon to my interface? 

2. How do I add an image (I believe I have to upload it as a document object then refer to it)?

3. On Billboards, I can easily add an image but I can't seem to add text in the billboard, how do I add text? 

 

What is the best practices in adding an image? 

Thank you for your help. 

Eric

  • The steps to using a document image are as follows

    1. Upload an image to your appian application, will be type Document

    2. Create a constant of type Document and point it at your image

    3. On your Appian interface, use a!imageField, example code snippet follows:

    =a!imageField(
      label: "Label",
      images: {
        a!documentImage(
          document: cons!MY_IMAGE
        )
      }
    )

     

    As for Billboards, you can use a rich text component inside the OverlayContents of the billboard to show text
