Suppose I want to add image to any asset (while its onboarding) and I want to use File upload widget and Image widget then what is the process to achieve this functionality while onboarding as well as updating any asset image?

 

Please help with the logic.

 

Thanks in advance.

Since Image widget uses the Media entity to display image, it is not possible to display image from System Repository using Image widget. Instead use following steps :

-Upload Image using file upload widget

-Use Service :

var Content = Things["SystemRepository"].LoadImage({
path: undefined /* STRING */ 
});

path: complete path of image

 

-Use Value Display widget :

  1. Bind output of above service to value display
  2. Click on Render and State
  3. Change the Renderer to Image in the drop down
  4. Done and Save
