Hi all!
I'm trying to add images to a straight table with a link that points to a certain jpg-file within our internal network.
On YouTube, I found this video from Qlik that shows how to do that: Adding images to a straight table - Qlik Sense - YouTube
Unfortunately, this only shows how to do that with an image, that is located on the internet. That worked fine with we also, but I can't get it done with a file in our directory. I used a link like this: ='file://directory/filename.jpg'
Has anybody an idea what I did wrong, or is it a setting within Qlik Sense?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Hey Fneumann,
The YT video is correct that it works with a link to a website (URL), that works.
because QS is webbased and on a server connected to the internet it needs to find the connection from the internet to the server where the file is located.
for example the file is located on a B: disk. this disk needs to be opened up to the internet with an internet address like 127.xxxxxxxxxx/filename.jpg or mycompany.com/filename.jpg this should work because then you are going to a 'website' see the YT video.
I would be careful to open up stuff like this (because of hackers) security is as strong as the weakest link.
is it possible to move the images to a dedicated webserver where only those images are stored?
This would be an saver option and you can connect to the webserver via a url (just like the YT video)
If this helped please accept this as a solution and give it a like

Thanks MartW!
I'm not sure if we can manage to move everything to a dedicated webserver, but we will discuss, if there's no other (save) option.
