Qlik Sense SaaS (Cloud) - How to Load an External Images by URL

Hi, 

I'm trying to load an external images "abc.com/welcome.png" into a Qlik Sense App that is sitting on Qlik Sense Cloud.

Does Qlik Sense Cloud allow external images? coz in the Maps, we can define a background image... 

Anyone know how this can be done? Have tried everything.

 

Thanks
David

Hi Padma,

I understand the URL, and the definition... 

the solution, is that I have managed to test it now with external link... there is a Web Content Security setting, and it needs to be setup, thru trial and error to get the correct setting you need.

 

Padma, how about the Media library within qlik sense SaaS?

If we upload the images to the media library of an application, how do we reference that image within the media library using an expession URL link?

what is the link, if my tenant is abc, and my qs app is XYZ, my image is efg.png, what is the media library reference? would this be the link, coz I cannot get this correct? and the materials are very confusing...

Please advise

Hi @dcheung3388 

Hopefully you have found a solution by now, but as there is no actual solution I thought I would add my findings.

The F12 button in your browser is your friend in finding this out. In Chrome at least you can dig into everything that appears on a browser page and drill in to find anything that appears on the screen. If you show the image that you want to get the URL for on the page you should be able to find it.

I've just located an embedded image here:

https://mytenantname.eu.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/apps/0fa399bc-a63e-4251-a620-3ff043f86964/media/files/A...

The GUID in the URL is the GUID of the app in which the image is embedded.

There is a risk that things could change (e.g. API version) and break stuff, but it will get you working in the first place.

Hope that helps!

Hi Steve,

unfortunatly I can't test Your Link. It replies: "Autorization needed" 😉

There's two reasons for that. 😁

First, in order to view a graphic the user will need to be authenticated with the tenant that holds the app and have permissions on that app.

Secondly, I'm not posting my tenant name on here.
