Displaying image thumbnails in the datagrid

Image titles are not always intuitive when you see them listed in a datagrid. To make it easier to identify the image you want to work with, you can display a thumbnail of each image.

Thumbnails are not displayed by default. To add the "Image Preview" column to a datagrid, click in the upper right corner of the datagrid and select the Image Preview column from the list of available columns.

You can add the Image Preview column to the datagrids on these pages only:

  • Assignments
  • Search Results
  • Map Structure view
  • Bulk Basket

There are no sort and filter options for this column.

Thumbnails are sized so that all datagrid rows are the same height. The size of the thumbnail increases or decreases depending on whether you use Classic, Comfortable, or Compact view.

If you reduce the width of the column, the thumbnails are also reduced while keeping their ratio. If you widen the column, the thumbnail increases in size as well to a maximum of ~140px.

To maximize performance, thumbnails are only loaded as you scroll down the page. This means that if 500 results are displayed but only the first 20 are visible onscreen, only the first 20 thumbnails are loaded. As you scroll, additional thumbnails are loaded. Already-displayed thumbnails are cached for for a short time to optimize display performance in case you scroll back up.
