![]() Click OK on the dialogs to get back to the view. Because this field is taking the value of the parameter, only one value will be shown – the current parameter value ( White Tree in this case):ġ0. The background image will then only show when the field has this value. When you select the field, you will then be prompted to select a value that is present in that field. In the popup dialog select the Background calculated field that was added to the view earlier:ĩ. Click the Options tab then click Add… to add a condition:Ĩ. Click Add Image… and browse to the image you want to use and assign the values 0 and 1 to the fields X and Y as shown below.ħ. Go to Map > Background Images and select the data source used in the view (Trees in the case)Ħ.Create a calculation called Background that equals the value of the parameter and place this on the Detail shelf.Create a parameter based on the Picture field so it has three values.Create a second view with X on Columns and Y on Rows – these values are used to position the background image.This will be used to pass the Picture value to a parameter using a parameter action. As before, create a simple view with three circles using the Picture field (I’m using the second data set with three tree images this time).Update: for a walkthrough of how to visualise data on floor plans using background images and filters, see this blog post.įor this example, we’ll stay with the Christmas theme and will be using a parameter calculation instead of a filter: One business use case is for visualising data on top of a floor plan images, which you can change to show different floors of a building for example. This method is less well know but can work really well in certain situations. When you hover over each circle, the URL for the Web Object updates and a new image is loaded.įrom a performance perspective, I’ve found this method works very well and images load quickly. Create a URL dashboard action and pass the URL field to the Web Object.Add a Web Object to the dashboard (leave the URL blank).Create the same view as before with three circles. ![]() ![]()
