Whats New page - LR Cover Image
We've enhanced the form experience by adding support for cover images in selection grids when choosing records in Linked Record fields. This visual upgrade helps users more easily identify and select the correct linked item—especially useful for image-driven use cases like selecting people, products, assets, or projects.
Key Highlights
  • Visual Previews in Forms: Linked Record selection grids now display cover images directly within form views, just like in standard grid selectors elsewhere in SmartSuite.
  • Same Configuration: Cover images are configured by selecting an image field (Files & Images) in the Linked Record field settings—no extra steps needed.
  • Consistent Experience: Users enjoy a consistent and intuitive experience whether selecting linked records from a form or within the main workspace.
How It Works
  • In the Linked Record field settings, choose a field from the related table that contains image content (e.g., a Files & Images field) to act as the cover image.
  • When a form respondent clicks to select a related record, the selection grid will now include thumbnail previews of those images.
  • This functionality mirrors the experience of standard linked record selectors, but is now available within forms.
  • This enhancement adds helpful context to linked record choices and makes SmartSuite forms more visual and user-friendly.
