Image (File Name)

Select an image from attachments of this report template or from attachments of the general report templates (for all users).

Image Position

Select the position of the image.

Image Scale

The scale of the image expressed as a decimal number. Images in headers usually need to be quite small so setting the image scale enables you to use even a larger image without the need to create a smaller version.

The value of 1 will not change the size of the image, the value of 0.5 will make the image twice as smaller etc.
