Adding Images to Custom Letters

To upload an image:

Click on the Image Manger icon
Click on the +Upload option
Click on the Select button to search for the image on the network or work station
Click on the Upload button to finish the upload process

To Use an Image:

Open the Letter to which an image should be added
Click on the Image Manager icon
Find the image in the list and press Insert
Click the HTML < > icon on the bottom of the page to display the HTML coding for the letter
Update the image link to include the actual link and not just a reference to the image inside the folder. Look for text that looks like below:

img alt="" src="/CyberRecruiter/images/Logo.jpg" /

Make sure that it has the full URL to Cyber Recruiter so it looks similar to the URL below:

img alt="" src="http://www.visibilitysoftware.com/CyberRecruiter/images/Logo.jpg"

NOTE: If the letter/email when sent has the words running off the page and looks truncated review that the image is not too large. Standard A4 size can support up to 595px. To verify, right click on the image in the editor and choose properties. If the width is larger than 595px lower it - it will auto adjust the height to remain proportionate.
