How do I take images from a SharePoint list or Document libary and put them in a gallery?

I've been trying to figure this out, but I'm just not understanding.

I have a list of equipment in a SharePoint List and it is used in a fairly robust check-in/check-out app. I want to include a distinct image of each piece of equipment in the gallery list of equipment. I've been able to point the gallery template image at a single image, but that is making ALL the equipment in my list have the same image?

Do I put it in an attachment column?

Do I put it in the image column? If I do, how do I put the data there and avoid using a link?

Do I put the images in a Image Library? If I do, how do I assign them correctly the records in my SharePoint list?

Which is simplest? Performs the best? I don't want to wait for links to load or any other slow down.

Hi @AaronTheYoung ,

If you have a gallery based on the Library and put in an Image Control, you can view it with the Image property of

ThisItem.'{Thumbnail}'.Large

you can also do Small and Medium

Cool. That's great info. I was able to get it to work by just using ThisItem.DeviceImage. but, I don't like having to put a URL in column and that points to the image in a library.

Can't I just store the image data in the SharePoint list?

@AaronTheYoung ,

Firstly have a read of this post of mine as it also covers attachments - this all works in Browsers as well as phone apps.

You can use

First(ThisItem.Attachments).Value

if you have one attachment and want to view it in the gallery or a form. Note however that this gallery has to be based on the List, not a collection as attachments do not come across in one.

There is also the option of storing the image in Base64 text in a multi-line text field in the list, but for you an attachment is probably the best option (I use it quite a lot).
