Image Icon Library

The image icon library is a collection of images and icons that you can use in your assessments for multiple choice elements.

Creating Groups

Before adding images to the library, you must first create a group to organize them. Groups help you categorize and manage your images effectively.

How to Create a Group:

1. Click on the “Create new group” button
2. Enter a descriptive name for your group (e.g., “Work safety symbols”, “PPE icons”, “Warning signs”)
3. Click “Confirm” to create the group

Adding Images

Once you’ve created a group, you can start adding images to it. Each image requires a title and the image file itself.

How to Add an Image:

1. Click on your desired group
2. Fill in the following fields:
   • Image title: Enter a descriptive name for the image (e.g., “Helmet”, “Safety Goggles”)
   • Icon/image file: Click “Choose File” to upload an image from your computer

Supported File Types

• PNG (recommended)
• JPG/JPEG
• SVG

Image Requirements

• Maximum file size: 5MB
• Recommended dimensions: 256x256 pixels
• Clear, recognizable imagery
• Consistent style within groups

Managing Your Library

After adding images to your group, you’ll see them displayed in a grid layout. Each image shows its title and thumbnail, along with management options.

Available Actions

At the top of the group, you’ll find:

• Add new image: Upload additional images to the group
• Add new icon: Alternative way to add images to the group
• Edit group: Modify the group name (pencil icon)
• Delete group: Remove the entire group and its contents (trash icon)

For each individual image, you can:

• Edit: Modify the image title or replace the image file (pencil icon)
• Delete: Remove the image from the group (trash icon)

Creating Icons

In addition to uploading images, you can create custom text-based icons. These icons can be customized with various text and styling options, and you’ll see a live preview of how they’ll appear in your assessments.

Icon Creation Options

The interface is divided into two main sections:

Text Options

• Icon title: Name for your icon
• Icon text: The text or character that will appear in the icon
• Text Y position: Adjust vertical alignment (0-100%)
• Font size: Scale from Small to Large
• Text formatting: Bold (B) and Italic (I) options
• Text Color: Choose any color for the text

Shape Options

• Circle: A round border around your icon
• Square: A rectangular border around your icon
• Triangle: A triangular border shape
• Border color: Choose the color of the shape’s border
• Background color: Set the fill color for the shape
• Border Style: Choose from 8 different border styles (solid, dashed, dotted)
• Border width: Adjust the thickness of the border
• Double line: Option to add a secondary border line

Managing Icons

Once you’ve created icons, they appear in your group alongside uploaded images. Each icon has several management options available.

For each icon, you have three actions available:

• Duplicate (copy icon): Create an exact copy of an existing icon, preserving all styling settings.
• Edit (pencil icon): Modify the icon’s settings, text, or styling
• Delete (trash icon): Remove the icon from the group

Using Images in Templates

Before you can use your image library in assessments, you’ll need to:

1. Add the “Image and icon library” module to your template
2. Select the appropriate image group within the module
3. Configure how images appear in your active elements
