The image can either simply decorate the form, or be a link, or be used as the background of the form. It can have the following properties:

• Source – direct URL of the image
• Media Catalog – you may choose any of the current images uploaded to Joomla!’s catalog.

• Submit information
• On-click action – what should be done when the image is pressed. The variants possible are:

1. No action – no action will happen
2. Go to the next step – the user will be redirected to the next page of the form
3. Go to the previous step - the user will be redirected to the previous page of the form
4. Redirect to an external page – used when the form is finished. You may create a common static Joomla! page where your users will be redirected when the form is filled.
5. Go to selected page – used when the button should direct to the certain page,not the next one. Once the variant is selected – the drop down allows choosing the pages activated
6. Form preview – the image allows users to preview the form before submission(see Form Preview);
7. Date reset – clears the entered data;
8. Date picker – to use this action you should associate the image with an edit box(select it in “Date field” drop down). On the front end when the image is clicked – the user will see the calendar where he/she can select the date. The format of the date (American/European) can be also set;
9. Date print – allows printing the filled form from the front end

• URL – activated only when “Redirect to an external page” is chosen. Here the URL of the page can be entered. The user will be redirected to this page after the form is filled.
• Save data in the database/ Email data – either or both can be checked, Save data in database allows you keeping all filled forms in DB with displaying in admin area. Email data allows sending the filled forms to an email (to the admin responsible for it).
• User Email field – used when the user should get the email notification after submitting the form. The field which will contain the user’s email should be selected(see Email Notification)
• Email to – enter the email once you wish the filled forms to be emailed.
