I have a Table group where one of the peer tables has a key called 'photos'. 'photos' is a dataset with columns ItemDesc and PicturePath. I need to display all the lines in the dataset as separate items on the report. If there are a 100 items in the dataset this could take up several pages.
How do I add a table that can repeat an Image component?
Here is the answer
Report Table - images in table rows - Ignition - Inductive Automation Forum
Close but that person is loading blobs from a database. I just have a list of file paths, that I will check exist, and then load them into images.
After typing it all out I remembered I could make the 'photos' a list of numbers / pointers and then add an unstructured table to the details section. This unstructured table is repeated for every number / pointer from 'photos'.
But I am stuck on using the pointer still.
Consider a scripted data source that retrieves the file bytes. Probably nested for a table group.
Would I add the file bytes to a dataset line entry after reading them? Is that the concept you are going for?
