In a table visualization, you can control how each field is displayed using the options in the field’s Display tab. To open it, click the icon on a field in the visualization’s Options panel, then open the Display tab.
Display tab for a Markdown field
By default, Omni shows the field’s original value. From the Display as dropdown, you can instead render a field as an image, link, or bar, or—for fields with the markdown parameter—as formatted Markdown. The sections below cover each option.

Displaying fields as images

To display a field as an image, select Image from the Display as dropdown. The tab will update to display image options, including Height and Width. To create a linked image, check the Link image box and use the Link URL setting to finish configuring the link. This will create a hyperlink that, when clicked, will send the user to a link, a custom link, or an embed event.
The Link URL must be publicly accessible without authentication.
Omni supports displaying field values as links, making it easy to link to relevant pages from the visualization. Dynamic links for each row can be created in just a few steps:
1
In the query results table, create a table calculation that results in a valid URL. In this example, the A column contains a GitHub issue number like 10321:
=CONCAT("https://github.com/blobsrus/issues/",A1)
This would result in a value like https://github.com/blobsrus/issues/10321.
2
In the table visualization, hide the calculation column.
3
Open the visualization’s Options panel.
4
In the Fields section, click the icon icon on the field to open the field options dialog.
5
In the Display tab:
  • Set Display as to Link
  • Set URL to the hidden URL calculation field

Displaying fields as Markdown

Fields with the markdown parameter render as formatted Markdown in table cells. This allows you to display rich text including bold and italic formatting, links, and images using Mustache templates. To configure Markdown rendering for a field, add the markdown parameter to the dimension) or measure definition in your model. See the visualization showcase for ready-to-use recipes like pills, star ratings, status indicators, and user profiles.

Customizing Markdown templates in the workbook

When viewing a field with Markdown in a table visualization, you can customize the Markdown template and CSS in the visualization’s Display tab without editing the model file. After customizing the template or CSS, click Promote to save your changes to the workbook model. Use Revert to restore the original modeled definition.

Displaying numeric fields as bars

Numeric columns can be displayed as bars in the table, allowing you show relative sizes. Select Bar from the Display as dropdown to view configuration options.
If a column contains negative values, bars will split directions. Column alignment settings will be ignored.
