Create a Shared Image
Create a shared image so you and other authors can reuse it in different workbooks.
Shared images make it easy to maintain a uniform appearance across workbooks and help ensure everyone uses the right approved images. Creating a shared image for something like a company logo or approved diagram also helps minimize duplication of effort between authors.
You must have the Upload Shared Images permission to create a shared image. Your administrator manages permissions. All authors can select an existing shared image to use in any of their workbooks.
Administrators manage shared images in the Console, see Manage Shared Images.
When you create a shared image, Oracle Analytics automatically provides a Compress on Upload Quality of 80%. You can modify this percentage. The lower the compression, the more pixelated the image appears. Additionally, higher compression may increase the load time for the workbook.
