I suspect that it might the security issue, but I am not entirely sure cause I do have access to to the Sharepoint Site.

 

Need some guidance here. Thanks in advance.

Hi @kevinhiewmk ,

 

To use an image embedded in the report, you must first add the image to the report definition before you can add the image to the design surface.


When external images, you must verify that the image exists, and the report bulider has permission to access the image. On a report server configured in SharePoint integrated mode, you must include the file extension .rdl.

The path reference is as follows:

Thanks Henry. Sorry, i missed out one information. The images are actually in Sharepoint Online.

 

Will that be the same configuration? Apologies, I am quite new to this. Thanks in advance.
