To provide an image to the Image dashboard item, open the Image's
Options
menu and specify the image path using
URL
option.
The URL option saves the path to the image in the
dashboard definition.
The
Bound Image
dashboard item provides the
Attribute
data section containing the corresponding placeholder.
You can specify the binding mode for the Bound Image. Go to the Bound Image's
Options
menu and specify the
Binding Mode.
-
Binary Array
- Use this mode if images are stored in the data source as byte arrays.
-
URI
- Use this mode to locate images accessible by a predefined URI. In this case, the data source field should return strings that are parts of URIs to these images. For instance, the URI pattern in the form below specifies the path to the folder containing the required images.
Data source field values will be inserted to the position of the
{0}
placeholder. Thus, the Bound Image maps the current dimension value with the image placed at the specified URI.
Note
Note that the
Bound Image
can display only a single image simultaneously. If Master Filtering is not applied to the Bound Image, it selects the displayed image in the following ways.
-
In the
Binary Array
mode, the displayed image cannot be predicted precisely as a result of sorting limitations for the image/binary data types. Use the
Master Filtering
feature to display the specified image.
-
In the
URI
mode, the Bound Image displays an image corresponding a first attribute value taking into account the attribute's sort order.
