Collage is a way to beautifully display images within your Power BI report.

You can display images in either a compact grid display or a larger detail view in a style similar to Instagram.

To display an image, you provide a url. In addition to the image url, you can optionally display any of the following field types:

• Caption

• Media date

• Media type

• Video url

• Comment count

• Like count

• Permalink

• Author profile image

• Author name

• Caption sentiment

In addition, you can provide any generic data fields that you wish (number, true/false, date, string). These data elements will be automatically formatted in the familiar Instagram style for numbers and dates.

Some of the above fields are only shown in the detail view.

Collage can act as a filter to other visuals within your report. It also fully supports the Power BI bookmark feature.

Licensing

The basic features of Collage by CloudScope are free to use and do not require a license.

• Changing the default number of columns

• Support for native Power BI value formatting, rather than default Instagram-style formatting

If you like Collage, we hope you will support our small company by purchasing a license so that we can continue to support and update it.
