Insert images in report

Hi Nathan,

Thank you for your reply.

We store images as URLs in our DB and connect to the DB directly from yellowfin instance.

Do I understand you correctly that it's not possible to simply insert image URLs and we will have to take one of the following steps:

1) create a rest API method, which will assemble HTML, which can be further used by yellowfin

2) modify the data in our DB to store HTML tags and then yellowfin will take this data from DB data sources

Thank you,

Dmitry

Hi Dimitry,

If these URLs are already publicly, or at least locally, accessible, then all that should be necessary is to format this url to include the HTML tag, which could be done through a simple concat statement as a view level calculated field:

CONCAT('<img src="',url_field,'">')

Will this work in this case?

Regards,

Nathan

Hi Nathan,

Thank you. This works.

However, I have another question:

Is that possible to display tooltips with image and some number on mouse over a column on a diagram(view)? The image will change based on the column, as each column will represent a particular item.

Thank you

Hi Dmitry,

Glad to hear it!

At this point it is not possible to include non-text values into the tool-tip functionality, however I can see how this would be pretty cool, so I would recommend creating an "idea" topic to elaborate on exactly what you are looking for so that our product team can review it for possible inclusion.

Regards,

Nathan
