Before Text

The Before Text is listed before the resource information when the information is displayed or printed. The list shown can be customized on the Customizations tab.

Resource (link)

The selected Resource shows next to the Resource link. Select the link to show the Resource Selection screen and change the selected resource.

The following four fields only apply to IMM Graphics that are supposed to be printed, for example on the Sheet or on a Performance Job Sheet.

View (for IMM Graphics only)

Select View to preview the graphic in the Detail pop-up screen. On this screen, you can set the rotation using the Rotation drop-down and preview the resulting orientation. This allows you to make sure that you have selected the correct rotation for your needs. Select Save to keep the rotation value you selected, select Cancel to clear the selection you made. Remember you still need to save the selected resource to save your edits.

Note: The View link only appears after you have selected an IMM or graphic that you uploaded to LEAD (like a .jpg, .png, .gif file for IMM resources).

Width (in.) (for IMM Graphics only)

The Width (in inches) for the IMM or graphic that you uploaded to LEAD (like a .jpg, .png, .gif file for IMM resources). If you leave the field at 0, the graphic will print in its original size, or be scaled to the page width if it is larger than can fit on a page. If the graphic is scaled, the original aspect ratio will not change (so your graphics won't be stretched to fit the page).

The maximum width available is about 7" for an 8.5"x11" piece of paper with 0.75” margins on each side. The maximum height is 80% of the print height, where the print height is from margin to margin, or roughly 9", though that will depend on the header and footer, if you have a long initiative title or have a classification selected, you may have less space to work with.

Note: If you select a rotation, it will be applied before the width is applied. So, if the graphic is 3” wide x 2” tall, and you set a width of 4” and a rotation of 90º, then the resulting graphic would rotate – so it’s now 2” x 3” – and then the width is set to 4", so the graphic would be 4” x 6”.

Rotation (for IMM Graphics only)

The selected Rotation for the IMM or graphic that you uploaded to LEAD (like a .jpg, .png, .gif file for IMM resources). You can choose your desired rotation of the graphic on the printed page from the drop-down, including No Rotation (prints the graphic as it is), 90º Clockwise, 180º, 270º Clockwise.

Alignment (for IMM Graphics only)

The selected Alignment for the IMM or graphic that you uploaded to LEAD (like a .jpg, .png, .gif file for IMM resources). You can choose your desired alignment on the printed page from the drop-down, including None (uses the default alignment on printing), Left-Justified, Centered, Right-Justified.
