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 

dipand_1-1627033402654.png

 

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:

https://go.documentation.sas.com/doc/en/vacdc/8.5/vaobj/p1mj4hc3ku7mg6n1uptzk62scwbm.htm

 

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.

If you haven't done so yet, please contact SAS Technical Support and see if they can help you find a solution.

Thanks,

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?
