Hi,  
I’m trying to use an image from de Image Management Tool in perspective with no success.  
I’m trying to show a built-in image and also an image uploaded by me:

I’m clicking on Copy Path and setting in the source property of the Image component, but I’m getting this:  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/e/f/efa53c478d0cd0199217b8dfd7d3510e002876f9.png)  
The same result is if I select an image uploaded by me.

What I’m missing?

Thanks!!

To use it in the image component (in Perspective) you need to prefix the path with `/system/images/` - for an overall path of `/system/images/Builtin/icons/48/about.png`, for instance.
