Shared Image field

With the field type Shared Image, you can upload an image to be shared as a merge field in pages, templates and formulas (including portal pages). Shared images are also stored and distributed with published applications.

You configure this field the same way as Image Upload fields

    • Field Label — (mandatory) is displayed on the left from the field on view, edit, and new record pages.

    • Alternative text — The image <alt> tag, which defines tooltip text to display when a user hovers their mouse over the image.

     

  • Advanced Field Properties — For more information, see Advanced field properties.

  • Integration Name — The integration name is used to reference this field via merge fields or with Platform APIs.

  • Field-Level Help — The Field-Level Help box allows you to define help text for the field that will appear in a popup when the user clicks the help icon next to the field.

Note: Use shared images throughout your apps for icons and logos to enhance the presentation and user experience.

Shared Image and Image Upload fields are responsive by default. Responsive image fields change size to fit the current screen size. You can specify that an image field is not responsive on a particular page; see Responsive user interface for details.
