Output of images to the chat bot

Question

Output of images to the chat bot

Golenya Anatoliy 61

Colleagues, tell me how to organize the output of images from the QnA knowledge base to the chat bot?

We tried to make links to Sharepoint, alas, it does not display.

Links to external resources are displayed correctly, but this is not acceptable within the company.

What other options are possible?

Since this issue is more related to QnA Maker, I have removed the SharePoint tag for this issue.

Hi, you can add images using markdown format or uploading directly in the edit console. For adding images from SharePoint, refer to this document on adding secured SharePoint to your KB.

Example Markdown Format : ![Explanation or description of image](image_url)

I'm able to create a KB by importing a secured SharePoint File without any issues. I'm also able to view and Grant access from the Azure Active Directory admin center. Here are possible reasons: If your SharePoint is on-premises, you won't be able to extract from SharePoint because Microsoft Graph won't be able to determine permissions. Furthermore, it is possible that you don't have the appropriate RBAC permissions to Grant admin consent for your organization.

Thank you, we have found a solution.
Access was granted, according to the specified manual.

However, after that, links to images on sharepoint are not perceived.

Is there anything else that needs to be done? Or wait?

Images from SharePoint files are not extracted automatically. You'll need to add images from the QnA Maker portal (after the file is extracted into QnA pairs) using the following markdown syntax: ![Explanation or description of image](URL of public image).

Yes, that's right. They do exactly as you indicated. However, the picture is not displayed.

We only have the option of adding an image with a link. Should there be any other options?

You need to provide a public url, you can verify by searching to the image on your search engine. If the image is stored in SharePoint, ensure the URL has public access in the manage access settings. You can also obtain public Sharepoint URL by copying the link and pasting into a browser, and nd then to use newly generated URL link. Hope this helps.

Yes, we did exactly that. We take a public link to sharepoint, however, the picture is not displayed in QnA.
At the same time, the link is easily opened on any device, without authorization.

Thanks!
We managed to find a solution.
But not in the way described in the article.
And a little differently.

The following is necessary.
Making the file public.

Next, open it and click view original.

Copy the link to the original and use it in QnA.

When working further.

We are faced with another case.

When uploading data from a file to QnA, images are also NOT displayed.

Is there any special feature in this case?

Used files .docx, .pdf

If we load data from a file, we get images instead:

Auto-extraction of images from file is currently not supported, you'll need to follow the steps mentioned above (using markdown or image button) to add an image.

Sure:

Images with SharePoint files

Does the knowledge base support rich data or multimedia?

Thanks.

But this documentation does not say that importing images from files is not supported?

In fact, when uploading as files .docx, .pdf if there are pictures in them, they are not displayed in the QnA database.

I will add that the essence of the idea is to have an easily scalable and editable database.
