Tables with png not displayed in webbrower

Hi All,

I've run into the following challenge.

In my tables I use variables which contain a location and logic to display the correct .png

Via Qlikview all is displayed well; We see green and red arrows in the collumn Target.

However in the webbrowser the location is displayed, not the png.

Any suggestions?

Possibly the png files are not there in the server location (mentioned path in the qvw). You have to refer the png files from the server or any UNC location.

If you're accessing the qlikview document through the access point then make sure the Qlikview Server has access to those images. If it has no access to read files from that share it won't be able to push them to your browser.

Alternatively you can try using characters instead of images: Replacing images with Geometric Shapes as visual cues

Thanks, but the images are there.

Thanks you,

I'll look into that. Funny thing is that both examples mentioned are run from the same qlikview server.

It has to be something with access issue.I would put the images in the same folder as qvw and refer them in the qvw from the new path. Then try re-publishing the app.

that did not work. There's some kind of reason why the images are not pushed trough to the browser...

Another way of doing this would be to bring the images into the qvw by using a Bundle prefix on a load if there is not a lot of them and they are small.

Use something like this

In the load script

Images:

Bundle

LOAD * INLINE [

Image Name, Image Location

ArrowUp-G, \\ImageServer01\Images\ArrowUp-G.png

ArrowDown-R, \\ImageServer01\Images\ArrowDown-R.png

];

Then to use them on tables

='qmem://Image Name/ArrowUp-G'

='qmem://Image Name/ArrowDown-R'
