Add a dynamic picture to a report template

Include a dynamic picture in a report template by configuring the field reference to a field that contains URLs, file paths, or a raster field. To add a dynamic picture to a report template, complete the following steps:

1. Click in either the Group Header, Group Footer, or Details subsections of the report template to activate it.
2. On the Insert tab, in the Data group, click Dynamic Picture .
3. On the Insert Dynamic Picture dialog box, define how the template will recognize the field:
   • Use element draw order for field index—Populate the fields using the database order. For example, the first field listed in the Contents pane will be associated with the first field in the table.
   • Specify field index—Use the database index to specify the field to be used. This requires you to provide a corresponding Field index and Field filter. The index is zero based. The following table describes the filter options:

     Filter type	Description
     All	All fields are included in the field. This is the default. Using this filter type and a field index value of 5 means use the sixth field in the table.
     Text	Only text fields are indexed. Using this filter type and a field index value of 3 means use the fourth text field.
     Numeric	Only numeric fields are indexed. Using this filter type and a field index value of 4 means use the fifth numeric field.
     Date	Only date fields are indexed. Using this filter type and a field index value of 2 means use the third date field.

   • Name—Type the name of the field the template will use when creating a report.
4. Click OK.
5. In the report template view, click to place the dynamic picture element in the active subsection.

   Optionally, click and drag a box to place the dynamic picture element.
