Before you begin

Before starting the steps to configure an External Content item, ensure the following prerequisites have been met:

• If you are placing the graphic file on a remote computer in your network, ensure connectivity between the computer where the ViewApp will run and the computer where the remote graphic has been saved.

  Mapping a network drive is a typical way to connect to a remote computer hosting documents that you want show in a running ViewApp. For this configuration to work successfully, it is important that the computer to which the ViewApp is launched from has the same drive letter mapped to a location having the referenced document.

  The ImageViewerApp shows an error message to the user if the specified URI connection to the graphic is bad. For more information about the error message, see ImageViewerApp error message.

• Save the graphic in a presentation format supported by the ImageViewerApp.

  The ImageViewerApp supports GIF, JPG or JPEG, PNG, or TIFF graphic file types.
