Configure an image card - Anaplan Technical Documentation

You can include multiple image cards on a page.

You can add an image card to a board, worksheet, or report. Select your image URL, either as a static URL or as a URL in a line item.

To use an image from a line item, the source model must contain a line item with the format Text and type Link. The line item must contain a valid image URL.

Images must have publicly accessible URLs to appear in a PDF Export. The URL must begin with https:// and the type of the referenced image must be one of: PNG (.png), JPEG(.jpg, .jpeg), or GIF (.gif).
