SCS Events

Images

Images do not actually interact with or have any impact from a technical perspective on the Event.   Their main purposes is to provide users who are running the event with visual clues or cheat sheets to assist them directly on the event screen.  

 

For instance, your average person might be asked to manage an event which records the various cloud coverage throughout a cruise.  Perhaps they have been doing this for decades and know their stuff, but maybe not.  Providing an image such as the one below right in the event itself might assist them in their selection and make the output of the event more accurate.

 

 

 

Sea state charts, relevant bird/mammal species images and so forth all are reasonable justifications for putting an image into an event.  While images are in no way required in some use cases they may provide help that cannot be provided via any other means.  

 

The Images  Property Pane only really has one unique option, that being the image file itself.  

 

The Label will appear as part of the tooltip on the UI.  Label Position is ignored in this case.

 

 

 

To assign an actual image to the component you must click the Edit button next to the Image File property.  This will bring up the standard SCS file upload popup box.

 

 

Select your image file and be sure to click the Upload File button before closing the dialog!
