Hi All,

Is there any way to dynamically change an image URL in Image widget in PAW book?

Let's say I have a PAW book with Selector and Image, I store URLs as the dimension attribute, when I click on the element in the Selector I would like to pass the URL to the Image widget.

TM1Web allows it but I could not find the way to do it in PAW.

Thank you,

Katerina

Hi Katerina,
We dont' have that ability to synchronize the image widget with the selector on PAW books yet.

Hi Katerina and Vitalij,

We've been working on the Image galery capabilities. That would improve the image related work in PAW books.

However, the specifics in these two ideas beyond the image galery work scope.

Dynamic images is something our team has been trying to achieve on PAW for 2 years we think any added features would be a great addition to PAW. @Svetlana Pestsova what have you guys been working on ?

For one of our customers, we implemented dynamic image display without using a standard Image Widget. Instead, we embedded a web page directly within PAW, backed by a Python service that handles image rendering. Image URLs are stored as an attribute on the product dimension and displayed against each product in the row set. The solution performs excellently and also supports write-back to the TM1 cube - making it a compelling option for retail customers who need product images surfaced alongside their data.

In an ideal world, image URLs (to wider web or File Manager) stored as attributes would be sufficient as the image widget would synchronise with the production dimension as the data would/ does. Easy words to say likely less so to implement.

We are also looking at similar workarounds for automated burst reporting from PA and this post confirms that I need to submit better Ideas to the portal with more detail (rather than just ask for Workspace APIs which could potentially solve all these challenges)
