HOW TO … ADD A LOGO INTO THE MIME REPOSITORY
1 Business Scenario
A logo needs to be added into the MIME repository for use in an SEM-BPS web page.
2 The Result
The logo will be available for use within SEM-BPS. The logo must be in a “gif” format. If it is a bitmap
image, it must be converted into a “gif” format before it is brought into the attributes of the text within
the web interface builder.
