Managing Thumbnails on Mini Information Pages
 |
This topic covers actions specific to thumbnails and mini-thumbnails on the mini information page. See Mini Information Pages for complete details about the actions available in this window.
|
The mini information page is available where mini-thumbnails are displayed, such as in the Folder Contents and Search Results tables. For more information on mini-thumbnails, as well as the thumbnail available in this window, see Thumbnail Overview and About Mini-Thumbnails.
Note the following behaviors regarding the mini information page:
• Hovering over a mini-thumbnail opens the mini information page.
• Once the page is open, the thumbnail in the window updates when you hover over other mini-thumbnails.
|
|
This behavior is available when the thumbnail is unlocked. For more information, see the icon table below.
|
• Once the window is open, if you explicitly move it (for example to the left or right of its position), the window remains in that position until it is closed.
• If you have not moved or interacted with the contents of the window, clicking outside of the thumbnail window closes the window. If you have moved or interacted with the window, then click the “X” in the upper-right corner of the window to close it.
• If an object does not have a corresponding mini-thumbnail, the mini information page is still accessible. Hover over the placeholder image to open the window.
The actions and information available from the mini information page are described below.

Interference Thumbnail Navigation icon to view the interference attributes.Interference Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
ID | Identifies the number of the object. |
Name | A unique number that identifies an interference. |
Description | A brief description of the IDD. |
Type | Type of interference detected. |
Status | Indicates if an interference has changed from the last time it was found. |
Volume | Volume of interference detected in cubic units. |
Distance | Minimum required clearance distance between two parts. |
Report | Name of interference detection report |
Severity | An integer number from 1 to N that indicates the relative severity of the interferences, where 1 indicates the interference with the biggest volume. As the volume of the interferences decrease, the values of the integers increase. If, for instance the Interference with the smallest volume has a value of K, all cases of Contact has a value of K+1, the Clearance with the smallest volume has a value of K+2, the next K+3, and so on. If the interferences are not calculated, N/A is displayed. This occurs if Approximate mode is set to not calculate interferences and in some cases of Accurate mode where volumes cannot be calculated. |
Precision | Mode of interference calculation. • Accurate precision mode displays no symbol. • Approximate precision mode displays ~. |
Assignee | The team member who is responsible for the activity. |
State | Identifies the current life cycle state of the object. |
User Severity | A user-defined interval scale that determines task priority within the team. |
Created | Date of interference creation. |
