Branding your Events
Adding Images to your Events
Two (2) types of images can be configured for TargetX Events: Global images and Event-Specific images.
- Global default images will default when event-specific images are not configured.
- Event-specific images will override the global default images.
For each of these 'types,' you can configure both a Poster image and a Thumbnail image:
- Poster Image is a larger image that displays on the Event Detail page.
- Thumbnail Image Smaller image that displays if the event is marked as a Featured Event and appears in the Featured Events carousel.
Notes:
- When attaching an image to the event, you MUST use Salesforce Classic, not Lightning.
- The setting Files uploaded to the Attachments-related list on records are uploaded as Salesforce Files, not attachments, needs to be unchecked on the Salesforce File Settings page.
- Navigate to Setup and search for Files, then select General Settings:
- Deselect the checkbox for Files uploaded to the Attachments related list on records that are uploaded as Salesforce Files, not as attachments:
