Linking an Image in a Table

Hello,

I have created a table and I have a link in it referring to a image on my drive but I cannot figure out how to get it to link so when I click on the link in the table it pulls up the image. Is this possible on qliksense? and if so how to I create the syntax for it.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Erica,

See the following extension and see if it helps you.

Hey Felip, I got that but I am not sure how to make the images show up:

This is from the script:

Images:

Load * INLINE [

Image, Image Location

    Bermuda, https://qliksense/content/in S4 Data Store/beach1.jpg

    Bahahmas, https://qliksense/content/in S4 Data Store/beach2.jpg

    Alaska, https://qliksense/content/in S4 Data Store/beach3.jpg

];

and when I put it into the extension it looks like this:

Capture.PNG

Should it populate by itself, or do I have to write a function to get it to recognize that it is a link? the "enable embeded images" is set to on

Hi Erica,

See the attached QVF file and sample image (put it in "C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Qlik\Sense\Apps" and the image at "C:\Users\eferibe\Documents\Qlik\Sense\Content\Default").

Hope it helps.

Sorry Qliksense Enterprise?

Yes, it should work on Qlik Sense Enterprise.


As to the linking of the image, you'll have to do the following (text from the Branch Project):

"If you want to have a locally stored image displayed in a table and you are using Qlik Sense Enterprise, then you must first upload your image(s) to a Content Library via the QMC. You can then reference the images from that location. (In this example, I have created a Content Library called 'MyImages' and uploaded the image 'sense.png')"

Images: Load * INLINE [ Image, Image Location Qlik Server Image, https://qliksense/content/MyImages/sense.png Qlik Outside Image, https://dyflex.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/sense1.png ];

Yes, I saw that, and the picture is downloaded into the QMC. I apologize, my Qliksense desktop is not opening so I cannot see the app you created. Do i need to write a function in the UI or script to signal to Qliksense that it is a link, or should it just recognize it?
