-Clickable images are typically needed in [[:general:landingpage|landing pages]] or when you want to provide a visual map which can be clicked to take user to another location in Stages or even a weblink.+Clickable images are typically needed in [[:general:landingpage|landing pages]] or when you want to provide a visual process map that can be clicked to take the user to a specific process element (like ''workflow'', ''activity'', ''guidance'', etc.) in Stages or even an external weblink. Creating a clickable image involves two high-level steps:
  
-**1. Select image map tool**+   - uploading the image in an editor/description box of the desired location 
 +  - updating the image map by double-clicking on the image and copy-pasting the map information in this box
  
-A tool/website is required to create image maps. In this description the online image map generator //[[https://www.image-map.net/|image-map.net]] //is used to create the image maps//.// You can also use your preferred solution.

 +**2. Update the image map by double-clicking on the image and copy-pasting the map information in this box**. This step specifies the areas in the image where a user can click to be taken to a specific link. 
 + 
 +Retrieving link information to be pasted in this image map involves a few steps which have been described in the next section.

 +===== Generate Image Map Information ===== 
 + 
 +A desktop / online tool is required to generate the image map information. For this documentation the online image map generator //[[https://www.image-map.net/|image-map.net]] //is used to create the image maps//.// You can also use your preferred solution. 
 +=== Steps to generate Stages links === 
 + 
 +First, generate in Stages a list of all the links that you want to use in the clickable image. 
 + 
 +  * Open the editor/description box and click on the chain-link icon
