Ideally, images should be designed to be scalable and saved as a vector graphic, such as a Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file.  However, all major graphic file formats are supported.  The following list includes most of the supported graphic files:

•      JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)

•      TIFF (Tagged Image File Format)

•      PNG (Portable Network Graphics)

•      GIF (Graphics Interchange Format)

•      BMP (Windows Bitmap Image)

 

In order for the image file to accessible to MoversSuite it must be uploaded into the Reporting Services server.  Once the image is loaded into the report server, it can be referenced by the branch and van line settings as described in the Assigning an image file to Branch records and Assigning an image file to van line records the sections.
