Display Chart Thumbnails in Item Lists

Visualize Detailed or Simple Chart Thumbnails in Item Lists

Chart Thumbnails are visual previews of Charts. While you can add them to Text Areas within Items, they’re especially useful in Item Lists.

Displaying Chart Thumbnails in Item Lists allows you to quickly scan visuals for many Charts without opening each Item. 

Add a Chart Thumbnail to an Item List

In List, Tree, and Gantt View

In Item Lists in Tree, List, and Gantt View, the Chart Thumbnail is a column you can add and remove. 

In Detail, Hierarchy, or Kanban view

In Item Lists using Detail, Hierarchy, or Kanban View, the Chart Thumbnail is one of the customizable Item Details. It’s included by default but will only appear if the Item has a Chart with populated data.

In these Views, you can also choose to display only the Chart and its title if you don’t need any other Item details.

To do this:

• Navigate to the List's Item Filter and expand the View Options. 
• Select Chart Only in the Chart Visual radio button.
• Save your changes. Your Item List will now only display the Chart Thumbnail and its title. This works particularly well with the Detailed version of the Chart Thumbnail. 

Switch to a Detailed Chart Thumbnail

Regardless of the List's View, you can choose whether you want to display the Simple or Detailed Chart Thumbnail. By default, the Simple Thumbnail, which is an image of the Chart without data labels, is displayed. However, if you'd like to include axis labels, data series names, and the legend on the Thumbnail, you can switch to the Detailed Thumbnail instead. 

To switch to a Detailed Chart Thumbnail:

• Navigate to the List's Item Filter and expand the View Options. 
• Select Detailed in the Chart Thumbnail radio button.
• Save your changes.
