Adding images to your reports

Intelligent Reports allows you to add images attached to your JIRA issues into your reports. These instructions assume that you have an existing report template to which you want to add images contained in your JIRA issues. You can click here for more information on how to create a report template.

You can follow these steps to add an image to one of your existing reports.

1. First add an image to your Microsoft Word report template and format it as required. You can click here for instructions on how to download your report template from Intelligent Reports.
