Display Images in the Interview

You must provide a location from which your host application can retrieve interview images, such as images used in image-type dialog elements.

Display Interview Images Overview

Interview image files load when a component that requires an image appears in the interview, e.g. an image-type dialog element.

Image File URL

The URL to the requested image file is a combination of the URL specified by the TempInterviewUrl parameter and the image filename. For example: http://exampleserver/hostapplication/images/temp/logo.gif.

To display images in the interview

1. Create a Temporary Image Files directory

The image files must be served from a location within your own domain. For example, a temporary image files directory inside your own deployed host application.

2. Save images from the Get Interview response

Interview images are sent back in the Get Interview response. You must save these files to the temporary image files directory created above. See Displaying HotDocs Interviews for more information.

3. Configure Get Interview to use the Images Endpoint

Set the TempInterviewUrl parameter for the Get Interview request to the URL for the temporary images directory. For example, http://exampleserver/hostapplication/images/temp/.
