altText: "5 Digital Transformation Predictions for 2018 and Beyond",
height: "MEDIUM"

    I'm pretty sure I've posted a solution for this exact use case in a past comment.  It might take some tricky searching to find, but you should be able to find it.  It will have nothing to do with "document viewer field", since that component is relevant only to in-Appian interfaces.  The email solution relies purely on HTML.

    If you want an email to contain an image then you need to add the relevant HTML tag which usually points at a server where the image is hosted. The email application, when it loads the email, parses the HTML and fetches the document from said server.

    So in your Appian solution if you're uploading a document you need to push it to the server that will host it and get a "handle" to it that you can then embed in the email's HTML.

    =a!documentViewerField(pv!svcRequest.lab_images)

    I tried this by passing in ### image ### in email template 

    I got this response 

    [@attributes=, contents=[@attributes=, disabled=, documentUrl=https://cdernexusdev.static.fda.gov/suite/rest/a/content/latest/docview/jA0ECQMCV4K8lBQbEMIB0n0B_AmlOwvFSndODlPVPg6vqEQTqU8fE6L5yrVlWLJDHAQrfh-q21WHJtVXWuMaB4Nk8oYlRro0pV3fI40lDu9kH2wezuHWuTm3tFW4tV33kFxP9_MMr4W_5Sa90jecdhvTz1zp2WCVzzcdfb9ZzAZ6OvAHdR7EbOuFb5xVbw, documentId=612916, height=, altText=, validDomain=true, actions=], label=, labelPosition=, instructions=, instructionsPosition=ABOVE, helpTooltip=, requiredStyle=, skinName=, actions=, marginBelow=, accessibilityText=, marginAbove=, helpTooltipPosition=]

    So I tried wraping it with <img> tag and change code to 

    =a!documentViewerField(  document: pv!svcRequest.lab_images)

    but got a black response in the email 

    What would you recommend?

    You cannot use Appian UI components in email. You need to use pure HTML code.
