Display Images

You can display images in a worksheet or other views by adding an image field to your data model. Images can come directly from your database as binary data (Raw) or from a web address (URL). After adding an image field, open a worksheet, include the Image (Raw) or Image (URL) field, and adjust the image height in the properties.

Only JPG, PNG, and GIF image formats are supported.
