Attributes and Elements

Attributes

Attribute	Description	Data type	Required	Default value
addImageQuery	Set to true to allow Windows to append a query string to the image URI supplied in the tile notification. Use this attribute if your server hosts images and can handle query strings, either by retrieving an image variant based on the query strings or by ignoring the query string and returning the image as specified without the query string. This query string specifies scale, contrast setting, and language; for instance, a value of "www.website.com/images/hello.png" included in the notification becomes "www.website.com/images/hello.png?ms-scale=100&ms-contrast=standard&ms-lang=en-us"	boolean	No	false
alt	A description of the image, for users of assistive technologies.	string	No	None
id	The image element in the tile template that this image is intended for. If a template has only one image, then this value is 1. The number of available image positions is based on the template definition.	integer	Yes	None
src	The URI of the image source, one of these protocol handlers: http:// or https:// A web-based image. ms-appx:/// An image included in the app package. ms-appdata:///local/ An image saved to local storage. file:/// A local image. (Supported only for desktop apps. This protocol cannot be used by UWP apps.)	string	Yes	None
