I am a motivated beginner and trying to find my way. Just so explain my simple question.  
I would like to set up a function so that a click on a button displays a random image from the database in the Image element. What settings do I have to make in the workflow? Appreciate your help.

There are two ways to do it.

1. Hide the image element by default and show the image when the button is clicked. You can search for the datatype – field – using a random operator.

2. Display data to the container that hold the image element.
