Gennerate Create Thumbnail

A Thumbnail is a visual representation of an asset within the system. If an asset lacks a thumbnail version, no preview image will be displayed. This makes it difficult for users to quickly identify content, hindering efficient management and searching.

🔹 Method 1: Automatic Creation During Upload

This is the fastest way to ensure your asset has a thumbnail as soon as it enters the system.

• Proceed with the standard Upload process.

• At Step 3 - Asset Details, after filling in the metadata, scroll down to the Generate section.

• Check the Create Thumbnail box.

• Click Upload button, the system will automatically generate the thumbnail version while the asset is being stored.

⚠️ Important Note: Admin Configuration

Before getting started, ensure you have Admin privileges to perform the following configurations:

🔹 User-Level Settings

To configure the visibility of the thumbnail option for a specific user during upload:

• Navigate to: Client Profile > Settings tab.

• Scroll down to Uploader Settings > Automation section.

• Select your preferred option:

  • Visible: Displays a checkbox allowing the user to manually choose during upload.

  • Default Enabled: The thumbnail creation option is checked by default.

🔹 Group-Level Settings

To apply configurations to all members of a specific group:

• Navigate to: Client Profile > Group tab.

• Select the specific Group -> Go to Uploader Settings for Group and switch on the Automation toggle (if it is currently off).

• Select your preferred option:

  • Visible: Displays a checkbox allowing the user to manually choose during upload.

  • Default Enabled: The thumbnail creation option is checked by default.

🔹 Method 2: Via "Run Automation" from Asset Detatail page (Single Asset)

Use this method to add a thumbnail to an asset that is already on the system.

• In the Library interface, click the down arrow (bottom-right corner of the asset) and select View Details.

• Select the Customize tab > Automation to open the Run Automation dialog.

• Then, check Create Thumbnail and click Submit.

🔹 Method 3: Via "Run Automation" from Library Action Menu (Multiple Assets)

Use this for processing multiple assets simultaneously within the Library.

• Select the assets you wish to process in the Library page.

• Click the Action button in the top-right corner to open the menu -> Scroll down and select Run Automation.

• In the dialog box, check Create Thumbnail and click Submit.
