Used to enable, configure, and schedule the extraction of thumbnail images from files stored in the datasource. Extracted thumbnail images display in ProjectWise Explorer on the Preview Pane when a document is selected, and also in integrated applications' document selection dialogs.

Right-click the Thumbnail Extraction node and select:

• Properties — to open the Thumbnail Extraction Properties dialog, which lets you enable, schedule, and configure the behavior of thumbnail image extractions.
• Start Processing Now — to start an extraction manually, without waiting for the next scheduled extraction to occur, or if no schedule is defined. This option does not appear until you enable extractions and specify a user context for the extraction to run in, through the Properties dialog.
• Mark Folder Documents for Reprocessing — to mark documents in the selected folder as requiring reprocessing. Once a document has been successfully processed, if no more changes are made to the document, that document cannot be processed again unless it is specially marked for reprocessing.
