Using Image as a Node

I am trying to make a survey in which I want the nodes to be a person’s image rather than a icon. It will most likely to help the survey taker to remember more quickly about the connections and also make it easier to complete it. is there a option still to do that?

Hi there! Thanks for joining our community!

Unfortunately, it is not possible to add custom images for each node. Nodes can only be displayed as a circle with a label.

The software does allow you to customize the way that nodes are labelled. This can allow for displaying variables besides name as the label and for more complex logic in what is displayed (conditional logic, emojis, etc). This is an advanced topic that requires writing a function in JavaScript and adding it to your protocol file. More detailed information about the process is documented here: https://documentation.networkcanvas.com/en/desktop/advanced-topics/node-labelling#custom-node-labelling-advanced

If that sounds like something that could help in your case and you have further questions about the implementation, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
