Displaying images in data tables and KPI boxes

This guide explains how to display images in data tables and KPI boxes.

Introduction

If your collected data contains a dimension with URL links to images, you can display the linked images in your data table and KPI box widgets. For example, this allows you to display a preview image of each ad in a campaign alongside its impressions.

Prerequisites

Before you complete the procedure in this guide, perform all of the following actions:

• Create a datastream that has a dimension with URLs that link to image files.

  Example: https://yourdomain.com/images/creative-preview12.png

• Configure this dimension as an image dimension.

• Load your collected data into Adverity Data Storage.

Displaying images in a data table

To display images in a data table, follow these steps:

1. Select the workspace you work with in Adverity and then, in the platform navigation menu, click Data Explorer.

2. In the Dimensions & Metrics list on the left, select a dimension with image URLs that has been configured as an image dimension.

3. In the Dimensions & Metrics list on the left, select at least one metric.

4. Add the widgets you created to a dashboard.

As a result, instead of the URLs, the associated images are displayed in the data table according to the image dimension's settings.

Displaying images in a KPI box

To display an image in a KPI box, follow these steps:

1. Select the workspace you work with in Adverity and then, in the platform navigation menu, click Data Explorer.

2. In the Dimensions & Metrics list on the left, select a dimension with image URLs that has been configured as an image dimension.

3. In the Dimensions & Metrics list on the left, select at least one metric.

4. To create a visualization, in the data table, click on one of the values in the metric column to see visualization options. Select the set of values to form the visualization data set.

   To create a KPI box visualization with one image, select a single value data set.

5. Above the visualization, select the KPI Box chart type.

   The image dimension value will be displayed as an image by default.

6. (Optional) To the right of the visualization, use the Settings drop-down menu to configure the KPI box appearance.

7. (Optional) Disable the Display as image toggle in the Image dimension section in the data series (lowest level) settings to display the image URLs instead.

8. Add the widgets you created to a dashboard.

As a result, the associated images are displayed in the KPI box visualization instead of the URL links.
