Considerations about record thumbnails

To visually distinguish between records in a table view, you can associate a unique thumbnail image with each record.

Consider the following:

  • A thumbnail is unique to one record, and it does not apply to all records of the same type.

  • You can add only image files as thumbnails.

  • You can add a thumbnail image to individual records in the table view or from the record’s page or preview box.

  • Workfront automatically uploads a thumbnail image every time you create a record. You can later modify this image.

  • Thumbnails belong to the record information and they display in areas where records display. For example, thumbnails display alongside record information in the following areas:

    • The primary field of a record in the table view
    • The record bar in the timeline view.
    • The record’s details preview and page.
