Insert Image

If any of these change, these images do not update the next time you publish the report.

  • In the Simulation study tree, right-click a report and click Include Image.
  • Click Include Image for Report (Simulation CommandManager).
After you click , an image appears in the Simulation study tree under the selected reports and in the Images folder under Report. The report section associated with the image appears in parentheses after the image name.

You must publish the report to see the new images in the report.
