## Overview

Custom SVG and PNG images can be imported into Activate and reused across objects such as services. Images are stored centrally and referenced by name.

## Prerequisites

- Access to Activate Studio
- SVG or PNG image files available locally 

## Image Storage Location

Images are managed under:
 **Resources → Configuration → Web → Images**

## Steps to Import an SVG or PNG Image

1. Navigate to:
    **Resources → Configuration → Web → Images** 
2. Create a new parameter: 
   - Set the type to **SVG Image** or **PNG Image** 
   - Assign a unique name (e.g., laptop.svg or laptop.png) 
3. Open the parameter: 
   - Double-click the newly created parameter 
4. Import the image: 
   - Click **Import** 
   - Select the desired SVG or PNG file from your local system 

## Using the Imported Image

1. Create or open the target object (e.g., a service) 
2. Add a new parameter: 
   - Type: **String** 
   - Name: e.g., Image 
3. Set the parameter value: 
   - Enter the exact name of the imported image parameter (e.g., laptop.svg) 

## Additional Notes

- The image name must match exactly when referenced. 
- Images are reusable across multiple objects once imported. 
- Ensure file formats match the parameter type (SVG or PNG).
