This tutorial applies to version 4.0.22 and later.

This tutorial will show you how to display images in a report table view. This does not apply to the PDF/Print view.

Setting the Link

Any field can be displayed with a link. Form fields of type IMAGE can also be assigned to display the image inline. This tutorial assumes you have a form with an IMAGE field in the form relationship.

Now you edit the report that is based on this relationship. Click on the form with the image and then click on Reported Fields.
