<p>which images do you want to use. I do not recommend using embedded images. Either a URL or in the resources. </p>

<p>Hi I was able to recreate the scenario and correctly display the images, </p><p> </p><p>However will the images be shown when the design file is uploaded to some other server ?</p>

<p>+ design file</p>

<p>See my design file. It is using images in a resource folder. By default in the designer this is the root of the project. This can be changed in the preferences. On the server when you start the engine you can specify the location of the resource folder. </p>

<p>my report is being run in remote apache server,</p><p>due to some reason, there are limitations to put images in shared resource directory. Only embedded image works, hence i did a work around.</p><p> </p><p>Added an extra column for images, put all the images that are in scope and put an expression in the visibility option for respective images,</p><p> </p><p>example for the 'Linux' icon, the visibility option is something like, --> `Hide` if (fx) row[OS_TYPE]='UNIX' || row[OS_TYPE]='WINDOWS'.</p><p> </p><p>This works nice as well.</p><p> </p><p>Thanks</p>

<p>Glad it works. This will make the report document larger. as all images will be in the document for every row.</p>
