Hello everyone, I would like to add url images to my dashboard but after following the documentation I was not successful. My objective is to have the images displayed for each row. Is this possible?

Hi Jacob, Could you please send us the documentation which you are currently using so we now what are you exactly trying to implement? Also, if you say that you were not successful, can we have more details please? What issue are you exactly experiencing while trying to implement this?

I was looking at this documentation and another but I will have to find it: https://help.gooddata.com/classic/en/dashboards-and-insights/dashboards/creating-dashboards/adding-dynamic-images-to-your-workspaces/ I’m looking to display a small profile picture of each employee alongside their name and other metrics within the dashboard, not as a clickable link but as an embedded, visible image. Here’s what I’ve tried so far: 1. I added the
imageURL
as a label to the
displayName
field and set its type to 'image'. However, this only shows a clickable URL rather than directly embedding the image. 2. A separate column displaying URLs allows for clicking to view the image, but we want the images displayed inline within the dashboard for a quick visual reference. Could you advise on how to embed images directly next to each employee's name in the dashboard?

the goal is to list out the
displayName
with the images like below if possible

Hi Jacob, just for the confirmation - you are using GoodData Cloud, is that correct?
j
Yes I believe so
Additionally is there a way to embedded a progress bar?

Unfortunately, I’m afraid this is not possible out of the box. For GoodData Cloud, the common feature for adding images is Rich text: https://www.gooddata.com/docs/cloud/create-dashboards/rich-text/ However, it does not allow to resize the pictures.
Regarding the progress bar. Again, this is not possible out of the box. However, please refer to the Target Gauge KPI from the referenced documentation as this might meet your requirement. It might require some additional development though.

Hi Jacob, regarding the image from the data, you might try the Repeater Visualization type which should support this: https://www.gooddata.com/docs/cloud/create-visualizations/visualization-types/repeaters/ It is one of the newer components.

Thank you both
