I’m trying to use image in my formula field which is of type text . . I have uploaded the image to static resource . since its working in normal salesforce i’m not sure why it isn’t working in skui

IMAGE(‘/resource/phone_icon’,‘PhoneIcon’,26,22)

Hi @ak_Singh, welcome to the community!


Can you share more about your use case here?


You should be able to display static resources in Skuid by using the image component, an “image” field type in a form, or by using HTML in a template field or text component.


  • Are you using v1 or v2?

  • What version of Skuid are you on?

  • Is the formula field in Salesforce, or a Skuid UI-only field?

You can learn more about including images here:



Hi @Anna_Wiersema


I’m using version - Edinburgh Update 3 (16.4.5.0)


  • No its not a formula field

  • i’m trying to create a formula in skuid itself which will have text and small icon ( Phone number + Phone Icon )

    than’s why i’m using IMAGE(‘/resource/phone_icon’,‘PhoneIcon’,26,22)

    and i have stored the icon in static resource

    Somehow its not giving the required result.


Okay, thanks for that context.


IMAGE isn’t an accepted formula in Skuid, but you can use HTML instead. Looks like the best way to accomplish this is to use a template field and HTML, or an image field in a narrow column alongside the phone field. I tried a UI-ONLY formula field, but wasn’t able to get it to work.



Here’s the page I was using to test:

💡 I used a URL to reference the image - in your case you can use the preview URL for the static resource instead. If needed, URLs in templates can contain dynamic values using merge syntax.
