Define an Image Column for a Matrix Widget

Use the Columns page (in the Matrix Widget Properties window) to define how an image column looks and behaves on a Matrix Widget.

An Image Column displays a conditional image based on a defined Expression. For example, display a green check if your overall customer satisfaction rating is 4 or 5, and a warning icon if it is below 4.

The following figure shows an example of how a Matrix Widget uses an image column on a Dashboard.

Note: You can use a value from another column in your Expression. In the above example, the value in the Overall column (Numeric Column) determines which image to display in the Good or Bad column.

To define an image column for a Matrix Widget:

  1. Create a Widget
  2. In the Type drop-down, select Matrix.
  3. Click the Columns page.
  4. Click Add>Image column.
  5. Define image properties:
    1. Image Width and Image Height control: Specify the width and height of the image, in pixels.Consider proportion when specifying the size. For example, for a square graphic, adjust the size and width by the same measurement to avoid distortion. To help, CSM provides several OOTB graphics, organized by pixel size.
    2. Image: Select the image to use or define an Expression to conditionally determine the image.

  6. Select OK.
