Summary of Page

The intention of this page is to show Powerschool Administrators how to use picture objects to include on your object report.  For example, include on transcripts a picture of your school's logo.  As mentioned this KB is intended for Administrators and staff have permissions to edit Object Reports.  

 

Inserting the Picture/Logo

 

 

 Before creating a picture object, the picture must be added into the PowerSchool file directory on the server. Navigate to "Start Page > Reports > Report Setup > Pictures" and upload a new picture through a browser.  The image files must be in JPEG/JFIF format.  When importing student photos into PowerSchool they need to be in the JPEG/JFIF format for the application to correctly display the photos in an Object based report. Even though a non JFIF formatted photo will display in the browser, PowerSchool can only display JPEG/JFIF photos in a PDF report.
