Blob as Part of the Input Tool

With the new intelligence suite there is a much higher use of blob files and we would like to be able to input them as a regular input instead of having to use non- standard tools like Image, report text or a combination of directory/blob or input/download to pull in images, etc. I would like to see the standard input tool capable of bringing in blob files as well.

Thank you for your idea and including the visuals! I've included a label for the Intelligence Suite tools to insure the scope of this request is noticed by all our product teams.

 

For anyone passing by or interested in this idea please be sure to check out our Submission Guidelines as it better goes over the criteria for an idea to reach our product team.

Hi @andrewdatakim , thank you for the feedback. BLOB image files (e.g. JPEG, BMP, PNG, etc.) can be passed through via the Image Input tool in the Computer Vision tool group. Can you describe your pain points with the current set up? How would you use the Input Data tool with BLOB files differently than the Image Input tool with BLOB files?
