Thumbnails in a Task Report?

Avatar

Level 3

Hi,

 

I have a stakeholder asking for a largethumbnail of an asset (attached to a task) within a Task Report (I get this is simple using a Doc Report ) but their tracker is a Task Report and fairly complex as it's integrated with Fusion and don't really want to go rebuilding it again.

 

I've looked all over Experience League, found a few posts from a while back but wondering if anyone has had any luck?

 

Thanks

Andy

Hi @AndyKent 

 

Since a task can have 1...N documents, you can't reference "the thumbnail" on a task report. 

 

Possible solution:

  1. create a hidden (admin-only) field on the task "docID+versionID"
  2. Use Fusion to update the field when an asset/version is uploaded
    e.g. documentVersionID=6656b8840067f89bfcb9d87a6d3909c0&ID=6656b8840067f89a51b07f37539d83a8
  3. In the task report, create a compound column

 

column.0.sharecol=true
column.0.valueformat=HTML
column.0.textmode=true
column.0.valueexpression=if(isblank({DE:test asset}),'','<im')
column.0.displayname=Column
column.1.valueexpression=if(isblank({DE:test asset}),'','g src=/internal/document/thumbnail?build=&size=DOCUMENT_SHARE&'+{DE:test asset}+' />')
column.1.displayname=Thumbnail
column.1.textmode=true
column.1.valueformat=HTML

Thank you @Sven-iX 

I couldn't achieve the thumbnail using your expression as it looks as if there's an abrupt ending on line 4 BUT with some working out, I did get a thumbnail to appear. {DE:IC - docID+versionID} being my text field.

 

valueexpression=if(isblank({DE:IC - docID+versionID}),'','<img src="/internal/document/thumbnail?build=&size=DOCUMENT_SHARE&'+{DE:IC - docID+versionID}+'" />')

 

In my Fusion scenario I already had the public link being posted to the description field so just adding the documentVersionID=XXX&ID=XXX was simple.

Hi @AndyKent 
Nice! 

RE: the "abrupt" ending - I have two separate cols so I can split the "<img" tag - i sometimes do that so workfront doesn't strip my HTML - looks like in this case I didn't need to!
