Parent Portal Announcements - How to Insert Images and Link to Documents

Jackrabbit provides a Rich Text Editor, often called a WYSIWYG editor, in our email screens (HTML mode) and also in our Portal News & Announcement page.

This editor allows you to insert images and add links to websites using the link icon and the image icon.

In order to be able to add an image or link to a document, they must 'live' on the internet and have a web address (URL) to link to.

It is likely that the images and documents you want to use are already uploaded to your website, thus they already have a URL. This is the recommended place to upload your documents. If you do not have access or clearance to edit your company's website to upload documents, you can upload the images or documents to any cloud file-sharing service.  Most are free and very easy to use - just drag and drop your image or document to the site and it will provide an instant URL (http address) link to copy and share. You can Google "easy free file sharing sites", or, some great ones are listed on this internet blog. 

Insert an Image

  1. Locate the image on the internet and right-click on it to Copy Image Address.


  2. Click the insert image icon in the Edit Announcements window.
  3. Paste the URL from #1 into the Image URL field and click Insert.


  4. Click on the image to adjust the size as needed.
