Using screen captures in Appward

Uploading images to Appward is often used for updating tile images, which visually represent records or types within the platform.

To update a tile image follow these steps:

2. To update the tile image for a record, hover over the tile image while viewing the details of the record.
3. Click the Image button. This will display various options for updating the app tile.
4. Choose the Select from your computer option, navigate to your saved photo, select it, and your tile image will be updated. You can also copy an image directly to Appward from your clipboard by using the Select from clipboard option.
