Configuring settings for embedded images

Jive users can insert images in content of different types, such as documents and blog posts. The Images settings control the behavior of embedded images, as opposed to images that are attached to content as links.

Fastpath: Admin Console: System > Settings > Images

You can use the Images settings to enable and disable image embedding in content, and to specify the maximum number and size of images as well as when and how they should be displayed as thumbnails. Unless otherwise specified, image sizes are specified in pixels. These settings do not affect images that are attached to content as links. For more information about the difference, see Understanding embedded, attached, and uploaded images.

Note: You can use the Attachments settings under System > Settings > Attachments to determine how previews of attached images are displayed. For more information, see Configuring settings for attachments.

Content type settings

Content type settings let you specify which kinds of images (as determined by their MIME type) should be allowed to be embedded. You might find that some image file types aren't needed. If you want to prevent some kinds of images from being uploaded, you can prohibit them by adding them to the Disallowed Content Type list. For more information, see Configuring settings for attachments.

Embedding images

There are two ways to embed an image. You can upload an image From Your computer or directly From the web.



If you have an existing image from your computer, select From Your Computer. On the other hand, if you want to embed an image using a web link, choose From the web option and enter the image URL.

Note: When embedding images using a web URL, the Disallowed Content Type list is ignored, and it may lead to uploading images with the restricted file types.
