Adding & Managing Report Covers

You can improve the look and feel of your research products using report covers. These can be set for individual reports or across whole categories

Showcase Report & Category Cover Images  

Category Covers:  

Category cover images are an effective way to differentiate and brand your content visually. It’s important to note that marketing page covers are separate from Showcase covers, meaning you can tailor visuals specifically for the Showcase Page without affecting other areas of your platform.

Showcase Covers for Categories

Adding a separate showcase cover can give your categories a new look.  

To give your categories a fresh look within the Showcase Page, you can upload a separate Showcase cover for each one. This allows you to present a more engaging and visually consistent layout, especially in the Licensed Categories, Unlicensed Categories, and Licensed by Category Image sections.

 How to Add a Showcase Cover to a Category:

1. Go to the Admin Portal

2. Use the side menu to navigate to Content > Display Categories

3. Select the category you wish to update

4. Click on Showcase Cover

5. Upload a cover image (JPEG or PNG, max 2MB)

6. Save your changes

This image will now be displayed on the Showcase Page for that category, without impacting your external marketing pages. 

No showcase cover image applied for the Display Categories?

The following rules will be applied if no showcase cover is applied to a display category.

The image will default to the next corresponding top-level category showcase cover image.  If there is no 'Showcase' Image applied to the Top Level category, the first Letter of the Category name will be used. 

In the below example, neither the Top Level category 'Region' or 'Europe' has a showcase image applied so the letter 'E' is displayed instead. 

Report Covers:  

Showcase report covers give you full control over how individual reports appear on the Showcase Page, allowing for a more branded, polished experience for your users.

By default, reports without a ‘showcase’ cover will inherit from the reports category cover. However, you can override this by uploading a dedicated cover for any report.

How to add a Showcase Cover to a Report:

To apply a ‘Showcase’ cover to a report, head to the relevant report and select edit.
 

From the information section, scroll down to find the Showcase cover Section.  

Select the edit Icon.  

Select ‘Upload’ and choose the image you wish to apply as the Showcase report cover.  

No showcase cover applied to Reports?

If no showcase cover is applied to a report, the image will default to the corresponding category showcase cover image. 

If there is no showcase Image applied to the category, the first Letter of the report title name will be used.  

Add a report cover

1. Head to the Admin area > Content > Report covers.

2. This will display the current report covers. Click Upload new cover to add a new one.

3. If you hover your cursor over existing cursors, you can Use the cover or Delete it. If you choose to delete the cover, it will be removed from any reports it is attached to. 

Adding a Category-Wide Report Cover

It is possible to add a category-wide report cover to your chosen category. This can help save time, instead of having to add individual covers to each specific report.

Add a Category-wide Report Cover

1. To do this, head to the Admin area > Content > Display Categories.

2. Hover your mouse over your required category and select Category Cover.

3. Here, you can upload your category cover by dragging, dropping, or clicking the cloud to open the file. 

There are a few things to be aware of when uploading Category covers:

• The behaviour of the category-wide report cover is that it looks from the bottom upwards.
• This means if an individual report cover is assigned along with a category report cover, the individual cover will be applied to the report.
• If a category cover is applied to a top-level category AND a sub-category, the sub-category cover will be applied.
• If a report is assigned to two same-level categories and they both have category report covers, it will select the category that appears first in the category tree. The cover will be applied from that category. 
• This will also apply to hidden categories.

4. By adding the cover, it immediately displays a preview. If required you can click Revert cover to take it back to its previous cover or to remove it.

5. Once you are happy with the cover, click Save to proceed. You will then be taken back to the display categories page.
