Image in Report Header path not accessing in Alteryx server

BharathKG — Mon, 27 May 2024 08:02:41 GMT

Hi All,

I'm new to the Alteryx server and I have a workflow with image/logo on Report header and while i have migrated the wf to Server it was providing error as the Path (onedrive path) or local path which i used for the image was not accessing by Server.

Can you please suggest me how to achieve this without any error.

Thank you!

Hello @BharathKG

In your Image tool, select "Store Static Image In Workflow". This will store a copy of the image in the workflow, increasing the workflow size but making it completely portable.

Hello @BharathKG

To insert an image in the header that will work on the server follow the following steps

1. Go into User Settings->Advanced and check Display Asset Management in Properties Window

2. Copy the image that you want to use in the header to the same directory as the workflow

3.In your Report Image section of the Header tool, select the file that you just copied to the workflow directory and then remove all the directory information from the file path so you're left with only the file name.

4. Check the box on the left side of the Header tool config window to bring you to the Asset Management screen. Add the file that you copied to the workflow directory. Don't change the path.

5 When you export the workflow or save it to the server, make sure the fill that you added as an asset is checked

The method that you use to attach files to an email tool depends on if the are already existing or created by the workflow.

A. For existing files use that same method as above to add the files as attachments and then include them as assets

B. For files created by the workflow write them to the %temp% path, i.e.%temp/output.xlsx
