Adding Images
To add images to your Tile, you will first need to upload them in the community. Simply click the gear icon in the upper right corner of the place you are working and select Static resources. (Depending on the version of Jive you have, this may say Image Files instead of Static resources)
In the popup, click Upload a File and select the image(s) you want to use in the slider.
When using a custom icon, we suggest uploading a 40x40px icon. If your icon is a bit larger, don't worry; it will be resized.
Once you upload your images, copy the URL to your clipboard and paste each URL into a notepad to have handy when working in the Slider configuration panel.

Best Practices and Tips
Best Practice/Tip | How To… |
Static Image URLs | Upload all your images and copy the Jive generated URLs for each uploaded image to a notepad before you begin configuring your slider. You will need to paste these image URLs into the image URL field. |
Keep a duplicate tile in test/private place | For easy reference for yourself and others, we recommend duplicating this process in a test or staging group to access at a later point. |
