Creating more than one logo

Please note that iTRACK’s Report Writer function cannot accept multiple logo files, however, with a small amount of editing, you can combine more than one logo into a single image file and save it before uploading it to the report writer function.

To complete this task, you will need to use a computer operating windows software. If you need assistance to do this, you should refer to your IT team to do this for you.

You can also use Microsoft Powerpoint to create the multiple logos, providing the original logos are of good quality and not too pixelated.

If you require guidance, then call us and we will assist you to complete the task.

For Windows based computers:

Step 1: Opening Paint

To open the editing software Paint in Windows, press and hold the control key on your keyboard with the letter 'R'. The Run prompt should then appear in the bottom left corner of your screen. Type 'mspaint' into the prompt and press enter.

Alternatively, on the search box type in Paint, press Enter and the Paint software will open.

Step 2: Pasting an image

In the top menu you will see the Edit option, click on this to paste your image.

Select your first logo from your file system and press 'Open'.

Step 3: Resizing

Now that your first logo has been pasted into MS Paint you may need to resize the workspace area (white space or the grey transparent space) to accommodate for the second logo. Click onto any blank area within the MS paint workspace to first deselect the logo (indicated by the ant lines around the logo disappearing). Once the logo is deselected drag the edge of the white space until room has been made for the second logo.

Step 4: Combining two images

Repeat the process of pasting the image from step 2, this time pasting in your second logo.

Once pasted drag the logo into the free space that you've made available to it.

Step 5: Cropping

Create a new crop by clicking the Selection icon in the top left hand corner of the window under File, and select Rectangle or Select all pictured below:

Once selected drag the mouse from the top left corner of the workspace to the bottom right hand corner of your logo. When you are happy with your selection (indicated by ant lines) right click inside of the selected area and select 'crop' from the drop down.

Step 6: Saving and uploading

Click File in the top left corner of the window and click 'Save As.' Save the image as a JPEG or JPG file.

Once saved upload the file to iTRACK though the preferences on report writer. If you are not sure of how to do this please scroll up to 'Uploading a School or MAT logo into Report Writer ' for more guidance.

Save your settings using the 'Save Preferences' button and your logo should now be in your reports.
