Show images in Spotfire Table

Imagine that you have a table like this:

Service Name	Service Id
Slack	slackhq
Travis CI	travis-ci
Zenhubio	zenhubio
Atom	atom

And you would like to see icon images in the "Service Id" column.

You know there is a storage with images, with URLs like this:

https://assets-cdn.github.com/images/modules/site/integrators/${Service Id}.png

So, actually these images should be used instead of appropriate "Service Ids":

https://assets-cdn.github.com/images/modules/site/integrators/slackhq.png
https://assets-cdn.github.com/images/modules/site/integrators/travis-ci.png
https://assets-cdn.github.com/images/modules/site/integrators/zenhubio.png
https://assets-cdn.github.com/images/modules/site/integrators/atom.png

It is easy to achieve it in the Spotfire:

• Open "Table Properties" -> "Columns"
• Select column
• Set "Renderer" type as "Image from URL"
• Click "Settings..." and put your URL with {$} as a placeholder

Now you have pretty images in Spotfire Table
