    Key Concepts

    As mentioned in the Data Visualization section, the Image Chart displays information in an embedded browser by making a request to a URL and displaying the results. The data source, therefore, will need to:

    • Include a link to a web resource to be displayed in the widget.

    • Include it in the first row of the data set.

    Sample Data Source

    For this tutorial, you will use the Image Chart sheet in the Slingshot Visualization Tutorials.

    1. In My Analytics, select the + Dashboard button in the top right-hand corner.

    2. A dialog will open, containing a list of already added data source. The Visualization Tutorial file will be there as a data source if you have already used it. In case you haven't added the file, you can click/tap on +Data Source ⇒ Data Files ⇒ +New ⇒ Upload ⇒ Select the file ⇒ Click/tap on Select and Continue to include it in the list.

      Select and add data source from the data sources list

    3. Once the data source is configured, select the Image View sheet.
