I am trying to display an image using a webpage in low code app. When putting the URL into the web component, I am able to get the image but the web component remains in that image even when the image has changed or is gone.
Is there a setting that I could use to refresh the webpage automatically on an interval.
Instead of configuring the URL of the image directly in the Low-code app, make use of the videothumbnails webpage. Configure the following URL in the web component of your Low-code app:
/VideoThumbnails/Video.htm?type=Generic%20Images&source=http://IpAddress/Folder/Picture.png&refresh=5000
The "source" parameter should contain the URL of the image. With the "refresh" parameter you can specify the refresh interval.
There's more information in our docs, although it has been written for Visio, it can be used within Dashboards and Low-code apps as well.
The refresh URL argument was not yet taken into account for images. A fix was done in 10.3 (CU18), 10.4 (CU6) and 10.4.9 (due to be released on August 23rd) which resolves this.
I believe additional workarounds are possible depending on the urgency of this functionality (e.g. creating your own webpage and applying some small code snippets https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4572193/how-to-reload-img-every-5-second-using-javascript).
