Hey Sam, I had people check and it looks like this might not be possible, but I know there are some text mode wizards out there that might be aware of some kind of fancy work around.

    I'd kind of like to hear more about the use -- what is the report trying to do, and why can't we use the proof thumbnail instead of the document version thumbnail? And is it possible to get close with a document report calling out proof details?

    @Skye Hansen‚ It's specifically a proof approval report which we can't get close to with a document report (Unless you know how to filter document reports down to this). I need to display all the proofs a specific user is currently the pending approver on.

    They want to see the thumbnails because it gives them a quick way to identify what something is. A proof thumbnail would be great! Support gave me the text mode for it:

    displayname=Preview

    image.valuefield=documentVersion:document:previewURL

    textmode=true

    type=image

    valuefield=documentVersion:document:previewURL

    valueformat=HTML

    But if proofs are PDFs then it won't generate a thumbnail. Most of our proofs are PDFs 😒

    haha I'm not sure I understood all of that post. Also we still don't use Proof Approvals in our environment. But here's my question anyway.

    Can you do a document report, and use the Large Thumbnail field on the view, and put this in the filter?

    EXISTS:a:$$OBJCODE=PRFAPL

    EXISTS:a:approverID=$$USER.ID (or if there really is a specific ID put it here)

    EXISTS:a:approverID_Mod=eq

    EXISTS:a:documentVersionID=FIELD:currentVersionID

    EXISTS:a:isAwaitingDecision=true

    EXISTS:a:isAwaitingDecision_Mod=eq

    Mainly I want to see if that generates the same number of lines as a proof approval report that filters on approverID=$$USER.ID and Awaiting Decision=true. It does for me, but we have like.... 23 outstanding proof approvals to experiment with (most of which were probably mistakenly entered).

    And my Large Thumbnail column shows a thumbnail for a PDF (I read that you said yours does not, but I don't know which report you're on and I didn't bother using your textmode since the canned field works for me).

      Hi @Samantha Isin‚

      Looking for some other ideas of how to extend the proof approvals report and came across this request. Great solution by Skye..as always. From the Proof Approval Report that comes out of the box...you can also just add:

      displayname=Image

      image.valuefield=documentVersion:document:previewURL

      textmode=true

      type=image

      valuefield=documentVersion:document:previewURL

      valueformat=HTML

      And that should add the image.

      Cheers!
