Viewing attachments in Dynamic View
Other than downloading the attachments, is there a way to view the attachments as a thumbnail while in a dynamic view? I have some team members who I want to work from a Dynamic View without touching the base sheets. However, viewing the document submissions is a big part of the job. We are not always comfortable with downloading because we are not always certain where the attachments are coming from. Is there another way to see them without using the base sheet?

Hi,
Unfortunately, Dynamic View currently does not support to view the attachments as a thumbnail. Click on the attachments and download is the only way to view them.

I've attached a PDF that describes the add-on in a bit more detail.
Here's a video that shows a demo of the CellSpark add-on in action - taking images from attachments and automatically inserting the images into the sheet cells.

If the attachments are images, there is a partner provided add-on available which will copy attached images into the actual sheet as a cell image. Perhaps something like that would be a workaround?

Hello @Lindsay Whitbread Thank you for your response. Would you happen to know the name of the addon that specifically allow this workaround. I would like to try it.

I am also interested in the name of the addon. We are facing the same challenge with the dynamic view and inability to preview without downloading. This is a deal breaker for the team I am working with.

It's called CellSpark and you can contact solutions@infospark.com.au to get more information. I'll also track down a PDF brochure and post it here.
