Images in custom reports

I want to create a custom report that includes images. In the creation screen, I can create columns and title them. I can add fields (like name, places, etc.) into the content of the columns.

There appears to be an icon to include an image, but that is grayed out.

What I would like to do is to prepare a report of people in a group (this I can do successfully) and include the name and a particular fact besides the name (e.g., military description). Again, this is successful.

What I would also like to include is the primary image associated with that fact. This is where I come up short. How to include the primary image associated with a fact.

Thanks.

That function is not supported in RM’s Custom Reports. It would need to be an enhancement request.

I believe the only option would be to do that outside of RM.
Using word for example.
You might be able to display the thumb using a sql tool - I have NOT explored that option personally.

You could just print the image and any introductory text to correlate it with the custom report onto a sheet and then follow with the Custom Report sheets.

Or use Publish>New Book and reserve some blank pages for the Custom Report to occupy. The default includes a Cover Page, which has the option to include an image. Even possibly make that image a screenshot of a Sheet with the image and some lead-in text.
