How to choose the thumbnail of a record in the web app

A thumbnail image will make identifying a record far easier in Papertrail, especially when you have many similar records in your account. The thumbnail image is the image displayed next to the record name in your account and displayed on exports generated.

Please note - you can only change the thumbnail image in the web application.

Step by step

Records that have been directly imported from the Product Directory should have a photo uploaded to them already. If you don't have any images on your records, follow the steps to add images to your records.

If there is only one image on the record, the image will automatically have a small grey Star icon in its top left hand corner. This means the image is the thumbnail image that is displayed next to the record name in your account.

If you have multiple images on a record and you want to change the thumbnail image, unclick on the Star icon to make it disappear from the current photo and click on the Star icon on the new photo.

Close the record dialogue box. You can now see the updated thumbnail applied against the record.

Remember to have the Image field ticked in the display menu in the top right hand corner of the screen (underneath the search bar) otherwise the thumbnail image won't appear next to the record.
