Getting the profile picture from external system
The user's picture is stored in the external system. I can open the picture of a user via a URL where each users unique ID is passed as the parameter.
Please help me how I would be able to get the user's picture in a section where user inputs data and submits it.

Hi Dyan,
If I'm not wrong, there will one URL which accept user id as parameter. So get the current user id and concatenate that with the external URL.
example :
Url: http://myhome-prachuap.com/images/home/<<Userid>>.jpg
http://myhome-prachuap.com/images/home/1.jpg
U can change above 1.jpg to 2.jpg and so on...
You can achieve this by using data transform.
If the images in the external URL are not saved with the corresponding operatorID/Operator names, take a decision table and map the image names with the operator name/IDs and continue the rest of the steps descibed above.

You need to follow below steps:
1. create two variables : a) userID b) externalURL.
2. set the externalURL value by passing userID.
3 set that property in section layout using Icon control like below image.

Hi Venkateswarlu ,
I am able to pass the external URL to a variable .MyProp for example, and the MyProp will have a picture displayed in a section. However, each URL is different for each operator and needs to be dynamically changed to identify current operator. Would you please elaborate how to dynamically change the picture(URL) to current operator to display relevant picture?
