Image from external URL and SVG

[datanoob]

i'm working with some kpis and there is a requirement for dynamic number of kpis and dynamic icons in db. I'm thinking about using kpis with background follow url in db and add it into trellis container. But problem is i can't use any svg or external images, do anyone know why? Is this because qlik block external site? Or i can achive this with Text and Images and Base64 encoding?
thanks

Hi, 

1. you have 2 == signs which is incorrect
2. you can whitelist what images are allowed from URL:

   To add a image from a URL, the origin must be added to the allowlist in your tenant's Content Security Policy. Add the origin with the img-src directive. This is done in the Administration activity center by an administrator.

   For more information, see Creating a CSP entry.

3. you can also use SVG
4. yes - you can also use base64 encoded images. 

cheers

I am not sure about use of trellis with this as trellis container further adjust expressions used in nested objects to allow for "trellis" functionality which may be breaking what you are trying to achieve with your background image url expression
