    Hi Martin, a List can only display one Field from one Datasource.

    If you want to have Text with an image, I recommend you first use a service to combine the data into one infotable which you send to the Mashup. Next instead of the List use a Grid widget to display the information.

    So how can I query a Database and query a FileRepository in once?

    Hi Martin, you can use a service to call other services.

    So you can create a service in which you call a service that gets the info from the Database and also calls a service that gets the info from the FileRepository, after that you can use the InfoTable functions that we covered during training to combine the information.

    Martin,

    Depending on your use case, you may be able to use the Repeater widget to display the icon + text in list format. Furthermore, the List widget does support images, but only when they are specified in State Definitions. If you only have a handful of items to display, this may be a good solution for you, otherwise I recommend using the Grid or Repeater.
