Hello everybody,
I followed this url: https: //communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Communities-Library/How-to-Load-Images-in-SAS-Viya-3-5/ta-p/612283 for loading the images on the CAS.
My goal is to be able to see the images on a report in SAS Visual Analytics, but when I use the dataset information I don't see the image but an error message. I have the following dataset:

I tried to insert a url

to the image path but I get an error message and I can't see the image. Can someone help me?
Thank you

In a VA report, you can use the Image object to display images:

Have you tried displaying the image that way?

It is possible to create URL link actions using paths in a data table. However, I believe that the paths must be full URL links (http://www.sas.com/image.png) rather than relative paths (/image.png)

Could you help me understand how to create absolute paths in SAS?

I'm not really familiar with the method you are using to import images. If you have a small number of images and you don't need to load them programmatically, you can just import them using the Options pane for the image object in VA.

I don't know which version you have, but could you use a bunch of Web Content Objects.

The user wants to view a series of images by clicking on the single record of the table. To do this I understood some test images on a github path, so it works but the problem is that the folder on github must be public and this may not please the customer for security reasons. 
Any suggestions?
