Each plugin we post will have an associated thumbnail image that you will need to copy to the proper location if you don't want it to appear as a broken link when viewing a blank report. Copy the thumbnail image from the root directory of the unzipped plugin folder into the <installation-directory>\biserver-ee\pentaho-solutions\system\analyzer\images\viz folder of your Pentaho Business Analytics server.
