Setting an Asset Display Image

Customize the asset detail view by setting a display image for an asset record. When you upload an image of the asset, you can select that image file to display in the asset record. Users can view the asset’s image in the asset record detail tab as well as in the linked asset detail view. This allows users to visually identify assets and linked assets without leaving the asset detail view.

For information on uploading image files, see Attaching Files. For information on linked assets, see Managing Linked Assets.
