Passing a field to Custom visual content URL to display an Image

I have a table visual in a Quicksight Analysis with one of the column is the image link to the product. The Idea is I want to create a visual beside it that display the Image. When a row in the table is clicked, it will display the product image. I have created an action that pases the image field to the url visual. But I can’t seem to put the field inside the url. I even tried toggling “Show as image”.

Any ideas on how can I implement this without opening the image in another tab or browser. I want in in the same Dashboard/Anaysis as the table visual side by side.

Hi @danial,
If you’d like your images to show up in your analysis/dashboard, the images have to be located in a public access folder.

If setup in a public folder, another option you could do for this scenario; instead of using a custom visual box, since you have the links setup as a field in your dataset, try creating another table visual that only has the link field. Then in the ‘format visual’ panel, you can switch to ‘show URLs as images’:

You can format to hide the header and change background/border so that it does not look like a table.

@Brett, thanks for the feedback. I’ve tried enabling “Show URLs as images” but the link doesn’t seem to be detected as URLs. I even tried different “Image sizing” options, the outcome is still the same. How I get the field to behave as an URL?

Hi @danial ,

Can you try by setting the select field to style value as “test_image”? The settings look fine but the field to which this setting is being applied seems something other than test_image.

Thanks,
Prantika

Thanks for pointing that out @prantika_sinha. I must have overlooked this before
