Amazon QuickSight launches image support on dashboards and more

Posted on: Mar 20, 2020

Amazon QuickSight now supports adding images to dashboards through the Insights editor. With this ability, you can now insert images, logos hosted and accessible via public URL (or intranet URL) to be rendered in within the insights narrative. These images can be resized as needed, conditionally show the image when placed within the IF block, and also hyperlink the image to a dynamic URL. See here for details.

With this release, you can now compute minimum and maximum values on date fields within your data sets allowing you to determine insights such as the first order placement and last transaction timelines within any chosen category. See here for details. Additionally, QuickSight now supports the Modulus operator (%). Using the Modulus operator returns returns the remainder of a division operation. See here for details on these additions.

All these features are now available in Enterprise Edition in all QuickSight regions - US East (N. Virginia and Ohio), US West (Oregon), EU (Frankfurt, Ireland and London), and Asia Pacific (Seoul, Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo).
