Intro
Image Charts allow you to use an image URL column in your data to dynamically display images based on the data being filtered on a dashboard or app page without having to concatenate an HTML element. Before the data is filtered to a particular image, or if more than one row is selected, you can include a URL to display a default image. For example, if you filter to a specific brand, the Image Chart dynamically updates to display the brand logo. Or, if you filter to a specific person, you can use an Image Chart to display that individual’s avatar.
Power Image Charts
The Image Chart requires an image URL. Use the chart properties to construct an image URL. For example, if your data only contains a column for the ID, you must provide the URL prefix/suffix. See Customize Image Charts for more information about the prefix/suffix.Note: You can also add a default URL in case multiple rows of data are returned.For example, if you’re using your Image Chart to show brand logos, you might want to show a generic icon when no brand is chosen or when multiple brands are chosen.
