We are displaying an image of a person when the Person Name is selected. The way we are displaying images is we have a text box, which has an expression which evaluates to the path & image of the person when the person no is selected. The text box is represented as image thus when the person is selected the image of the person is displayed.
Issue :- When the user wish to change the image they just overwrite the image with the new image but still the dashboard keep showing the old image even after repeated dashboard data refresh. The user needs to change the filename also the SAP Table which has stored the photo image needs to be changed to reflect the correct image.
We are using Qlikview 11.0 , the only reason I am not storing the image inside qlikview is to avoid increasing the dashboard size.
Quick solution is always save your images as 1.jpg, 2.jpg and don't rename the files... with this, irrespective of whether image has changed or old, it will be recognized by QV engine.
I have a field in a database called ImageName. This field contains the value of the physical file stored in a filestore. Now lets say there is a person with name ABC then the field will have value as ABC.jpg. Now when the ABC.jpg is replaced with the new image of the employee the dashboard still keep displaying the old image. I refreshed the dashboard many times but on user machine it still keeps displaying the old image.
Now for ABC employee if I change the value of field ImageName to XYZ.jpg and put a new image file with XYZ.jpg it starts reflecting the correct image not sure why this behavior is happening.
To display the image, how your sourcing it in the text box? do you have any dynamic URL to fetch that?
In order for the instance change of the photos on reload , you need to have the BUNDEL info load in the script , which will fetch the images you required from the DB and it refresh according to the change in the data source folder or DB.
