How to display a thumbnail image on a table report

One of my favorite tips learned at EMPOWER2020 was from a session Chris Hutchens delivered titled Building for Mobile.

He shared how to get a thumbnail image of a photo to display in a table report.  While the session was geared towards mobile users, it's applicable to anyone that wants to show an image in a table report.

I created a quick video to show demonstrate that little gem: https://youtu.be/M7p71Yo770c

If you'd like to try this in one of your apps, simply watch the video and copy this code snippet to paste into a formula - rich text field: 

If(Length([Photo])=0,"","<img width=\"150\" src=\""&URLRoot()&"up/"&Dbid()&"/a/r"&[Record ID#]&"/e31/v0\"/>")

Enjoy!

Hey Freddie,

I have images that are rotating 90 degrees on mobile - that are not rotating on mobile...  any advice on how to design for this?  I want users to navigate to the table and a default report...and I don't know if they are more likely to use mobile or desktop.

I have my photo attachment in the child tables. One parent record have multiple child record (each child has a photo attachment file).
Is there a way to display a "concatenated" thumbnail from the child records onto the parent record? similar to having like a "combined text" via summary field.

thanks

Hey Freddie,

Question for you. How do I get the field to display the current version of the file? For example, I have some photos that have been replaced since their original upload, but the thumbnail field still shows the original file? Weird! Any ideas?
