Importing assets to a LiveCycle application

After you create a LiveCycle application, you can add assets, such as forms, processes, images, and schemas. You can also add folders to better organize assets in your LiveCycle application. For the purposes of this tutorial, you will create one folder named Images and import an image into it.

Create a folder in a LiveCycle application

In the Applications view, ensure that your LiveCycle application is expanded.
Right-click FirstApp/1.0, and select New > Folder. The New Folder dialog box appears.
In the Folder name box, type Images to replace the default text, and then click Finish.

Add an asset to the folder in the LiveCycle application

Select File > Import. The Import wizard appears.
Click General > File System and click Next.
Beside the From Directory list, click Browse. The Import From Directory dialog box appears.
Navigate to and select the folder that you extracted the tutorial assets into and click OK. For example, select firstAppAssets.(See Downloading and extracting the tutorial assets.)
In the right pane, select check box beside the financeCorpLogo.jpg file.
Beside the Into Folder box, click Browse. The Import Into Folder dialog box appears.
Click livecycleserver > FirstApp > 1.0 > Images and click OK.
