Generate Thumbnail

When viewing the report templates 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 template. 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.

Steps To Generate the Thumbnail

  1. Click the Report Template option under the Document Types section. A comprehensive list of all the report templates will appear on your screen. Click the View Report template in new Window button against the report template whose output you want to see in the viewer.
