Adding a remote image with the URL

Hi, i'm trying to add an image providing it's URL. The ideia is that I have an image of each, lets say vendor and when I select the vendor I want to see his/her profile picture, in the table "vendors" I have a column with the URL of the profile pictures.

The question is: how can I show their pictures? Do I use a Text Box? And if so what do I write there to show me the picture of the selected vendor?

thank you!

Is the URL accessible to the server account? That is, does the server and the account running the services have internet access?

Hi Rob,

It is an Intranet URL and there is no service account because I'm using it with the Desktop, so it uses my personal network account. I have Intranet access and can see the image if I put the URL into a web browser.

Thanks for your help,

Ariel

Sorry, my answer was related to a another thread, related to Qlik Sense Desktop.

Regarding this one, I realised that the problem was the encoding: if the URL is http://intranet.domain.net/images/image1.jpg it is accessible. But if it has and encoded space (e.g.: http://intranet.domain.net/my%20images/image1.jpg) it is unreadable.

Do you know if it is a bug or something?

Thanks,

Ariel
