Which image appears as the thumbnail?

 

The application thumbnails displayed throughout the platform, such as the Applications view of the Manage workspace, a gallery, a voting page, etc. will always be the first image attachment uploaded within an application. If attachments are uploaded exclusively within an attachments-type tab, the first image attached will become the thumbnail. If attachments are uploaded throughout the application form, the files located within the attachments tab will take precedence. 

Tip: don't see a thumbnail in Applications? Check that the thumbnail box has been selected from the cog menu above the list view.

If a particular image should be displayed as the thumbnail, ensure that image is ordered first on the attachments-type tab in the application. Image order can be easily changed by the applicant or grants manager by clicking the arrow next to image number in the top left corner of the uploaded file:

The first image will be the one displayed:

Thumbnail example
Note: for programs that don't collect images, thumbnails will be generated using URL fields. If videos are collected, the first frame of the video will be used as the thumbnail image. 

If there are no image attachments or URL fields in the application, no image will be displayed.

For the voting review mode, if no image file or URL exist in an application, the thumbnail displays like this:
