Pick images faster with the new image thumbnails

Pick images faster with the new image thumbnails

Our new image selector lets you browse records visually in any option dropdowns.

Simply configure your dropdown to show a thumbnail from an image field in those records. Then when using the dropdown, just click the picture to select the correct record – perfect for finishes, products, or staff profiles.

Choosing the right record in a form is now as simple as picking a picture. The new image selector displays thumbnails straight in the dropdown, so you spot the correct option instantly and keep work moving.

Need to match a laminate finish, select a product photo, or assign a teammate’s head-shot? Choose to show an image thumbnail on any record selector field and let the visuals guide you – no more guessing from text alone.

Why it matters:

  • See at a glance – thumbnails turn long lists into an intuitive gallery.
  • Cut selection time – users choose up to 40 % quicker in testing.
  • Reduce mistakes – visual confirmation lowers mis-selections, keeping data clean.
  • Works everywhere – available in records, collection forms, automations and portals.

How it works:

  1. Click edit on any Record Field in your form.
  2. In Input options, enable “Show image thumbnails” and pick the image field.
  3. Save the form. When users open the dropdown, a list of thumbnails appears – click any image to select its record.

When to use it:

  • Material or colour libraries where each finish has a photo.
  • Product catalogues that rely on visual identification.
  • People directories that show colleague profile pictures.
