Add images to image cards on dashboards.

You can add the images to image cards on dashboards. You can upload an image to the image gallery by browsing to select the image from the Dashboard editor. Alternatively, you can use the Manage images REST API to upload images. For more information about accessing the REST API, see APIs.

You can browse to upload an image when you configure an image card by selecting it from the card gallery. Alternatively, a third-party application, such as Postman, can be used to make the REST API call. Postman is available to download at https://www.getpostman.com/.

The maximum size of an image is 1 MB.
