Uploud Images to the Qlik Sense SaaS to link them selection based expression in the App

[laacib]

Hi,

is there possibilities to uploud images and use them in the analysis app for expression related purposes? Like linking and showing a pic inside  e.g. PIK diagramm for a particular case in an expression and hide it otherwise? How can I uploud such images and use as link inside the Qlik Sense Cloud? 

In my experiences, I can only uploud  data related files like XLS, CSV, TXT ... to the cloud. I could not find (even in QMC area) such places to uploud other file type like JPG, PNG, SVG...

Many thanks in advance.

Hi @laacib ,

we currently don't have a global repository for images in Qlik Cloud, but each app has its own media library, where you can upload files.

You can list all the media for an app by authenticating to the tenant first and then going to:
https://TENANT.REGION.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/apps/APPID/media/list

From there you can list the URL for each image:
"type": "image","id": "UserAnalyzer.png","link": "/api/v1/apps/1aa5c924-72cb-405a-bb60-8b5118e4b299/media/files/UserAnalyzer.png","name": "UserAnalyzer.png"

So, you get the URL as https://TENANT.REGION.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/apps/APPID/media/files/FILENAME

What you can do with the images uploaded there, though, might have limits. 
On the other hand, I was able to load images from one app into another app's straight table using this system.

If you have any suggestion on how to improve the media library, please suggest and idea at  https://community.qlik.com/t5/ideation/ct-p/qlik-product-insight

Thanks for the post. This work around works for me. But I would suggest to introduce a long term solution to upload media files globally for all analyse apps.

Hi @laacib ,

that's understandable!
Please, log an idea on https://community.qlik.com/t5/ideation/ct-p/qlik-product-insight  
Product management is more receptive when the requests come directly from customers.

Cheers!

January 2025 update: by using directly the URL "/api/v1/apps/1aa5c924-72cb-405a-bb60-8b5118e4b299/media/files/UserAnalyzer.png" without https and the tenant name, the images will work both in the app and the reporting service. When entering the full URL, the images are broken in exports (pdf, images, tabular reports, etc.)
