> 🙋‍♂️ **stabacco** _asked_

## Hello everyone, I’ve connected nocodb to an external postgres database. I’m trying to create a gallery view on a table which has a field named `preview_image` (type `text` ) pointing to a PNG image url . Unfortunately i cannot get the image to show up in the gallery view. Is there any extra configuration i need to do to inform nocodb about which column holds the image to be previewed?
