How to include images in BAM reports

Question

Hi all,
In Oracle 11g BAM , i can see some already existing Demo reports, i the Active Studio.
in that demo reports i can see a report called SLA Violation.Here in this SLA Vioaltion report there is Updating Orderded list within the list they are showing some images .
can some one help me how to add images like that..? or tell me the steps..
i tried creating the similar updating ordered list in my sample report and gave the image links gived in that demo report
" _switch({Process Due Soon SLA}) case(true):(<span style='width: 8px'><img src='../Images/TradeSubmitted.png'/></span><span style='padding-left: 4px;vertical-align:top;'>Submitted</span>) default( <span style='width: 8px'><img src='../Images/TradeFine.png'/></span><span style='padding-left: 4px;vertical-align:top;'>Fine</span>")_but in the updated ordering list instead of the image im getting entries like this " ):(<span style='width: 8px'><img src='../Images/TradeSubmitted.png'/></span><span style='padding"
Any suggestions on this is Really appreciated..
TIA,
Karthik

Answer 1

Hi,
I have used four different ways to display images in my applications depending on which method is the fastest to refresh.
1. Under Application Attributes > Edit Standard Attributes > Substitutions enter your substitution string (MY_IMAGE_URL) and substitution value(http://somewhere/img)
and then in the region or template use the following syntax &MY_IMAGE_URL. in your html tags eg. img src="&MY_IMAGE_URL./banner.png" width="x" height="x">)
I have found this the best for image refresh speed, especially if the image is already cached.
2. Load your image up into Apex and don't associate it with any application and use the following tag img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#banner.png" width="x" height="x" alt="">
Good for development as all images not associated to an application are available.
3. Load your image up into Apex and associate it with an application and use the following tag img src="#APP_IMAGES#banner.png" width="x" height="x" alt="">
This can be a pain during development when your application numbers continually change.
4. Use standard http address <img src="http://somewhere/banner.png" width="x" height="x">
