How to add image from my location in the dashboard

@himani.kala

You can follow the steps in this Discourse article to use an image as a dimension.

Alternatively, you can use plain html on a dashboard text tile to render an image, e.g:

<img src="https://your.website.com/your-image.jpg" width="100" height="100"/>

Note that you need to have the image hosted somewhere outside Looker, e.g. AWS S3 or Google Cloud Storage.

Hey @TimothyBurke,

You’re correct that the table visualization type isn’t going to work here, because there’s no way to get rid of the headers. The markdown approach is also out if you need this to be dynamic, because as you mentioned there isn’t a way to use liquid or reference dimensions in Markdown.

I would say the single-value visualization seems like the way to go. I was able to make a single value viz without any extra text as a UDD; I imagine you could then “Copy Dashboard LookML” and add that to the LookML dashboard. Here are my examples:

- dashboard: pokemonremoteimg

  title: PokemonRemoteImg

  layout: newspaper

  elements:

  - name: TestRemoteImageLook

    title: TestRemoteImageLook

    model: 24349_image_schedule

    explore: test

    type: single_value

    fields:

    - test.image

    sorts:

    - test.image

    limit: 500

    column_limit: 50

    query_timezone: America/Los_Angeles

    custom_color_enabled: false

    custom_color: forestgreen

    show_single_value_title: false

    show_comparison: false

    comparison_type: value

    comparison_reverse_colors: false

    show_comparison_label: true

    stacking: ''

    show_value_labels: false

    label_density: 25

    legend_position: center

    x_axis_gridlines: false

    y_axis_gridlines: true

    show_view_names: true

    limit_displayed_rows: false

    y_axis_combined: true

    show_y_axis_labels: true

    show_y_axis_ticks: true

    y_axis_tick_density: default

    y_axis_tick_density_custom: 5

    show_x_axis_label: true

    show_x_axis_ticks: true

    x_axis_scale: auto

    y_axis_scale_mode: linear

    ordering: none

    show_null_labels: false

    show_totals_labels: false

    show_silhouette: false

    totals_color: "#808080"

    series_types: {}

    title_hidden: true

    row: 0

    col: 0

    width: 24

    height: 8

Let me know if this does the trick or if I’m missing something about the dashboard elements you’re using here.
