• For an Alt Text to be automatically populated with the Description of the Resource, or with the Title/Name if there is no Description available, you can implement this code in the frontend where you render the inserted IntelligenceBank Image assets:

function getAltText(imageData) {
    if (imageData.description && imageData.description.trim() !== '') {
        return imageData.description;
    } else if (imageData.name && imageData.name.trim() !== '') {
        return imageData.name;
    }
    return 'Image'; // fallback if both description and name are empty or not present
}

// When rendering the image: 

<img  
    src={intelligenceBankImageField['en-US'][0].url}  
    alt={getAltText(intelligenceBankImageField['en-US'][0])}  
    // other attributes as needed />
