Image Datasets

Image datasets store the URLs of graphs or charts generated by the Execute R or Execute Graphviz actions. Each generated image is stored in the <LiveCompare user data dir>\private\Workspaces\<Workspace name>\<Workflow> directory, as a .png file. The filename for images generated by the Execute R action includes a time stamp prefixed by the name of the associated Image dataset. The filename for images generated by the Execute Graphviz action includes a time stamp prefixed by a numeric identifier.

A graph or chart stored in an Image dataset may be included in a Dashboard report by using the Define Action Parameters Wizard to add the Image dataset as an input for the Create Dashboard Report action. The property may then be referred to in the <IMAGE> section of a Dashboard specification.

To view the graph or chart referenced in an Image dataset, double-click the dataset node, or select ‘View Details’ from the node’s context menu. Use the F3 key to display the image’s URL in the Details screen.
