When viewing the reports in the tile mode, the thumbnail gives the user a visual idea of the document content, and you can generate the document thumbnail automatically using the Generate Thumbnail option. The generated thumbnail is based on the current view of the first page of the report. You can also view and add the thumbnail in the info panel.

Note:

1. The thumbnail generated using the Generate Thumbnail option will override any previous thumbnail set for the document. Users can set custom thumbnails using the info panel.

2. Users with Read permission cannot edit the thumbnail from the Info panel and also cannot generate a thumbnail using the Generate Thumbnail option on the preview.
