Using an iFrame and embedded HTML code, system administrators can pull in assets from the Media Library into the long description field to allow for larger thumbnails with potentially more features.
This example shows how System Administrators can set up "enhanced" previews for their End Users by placing HTML code pointing to the Media Library for a specific asset. Embed codes for JPEGs vs. PDFs will produce different experiences and it might be a best practice to use this with static assets to start.

The Use Case
If you're looking to provide enhanced thumbnail support for your End Users (maybe a bigger thumbnail, the ability to zoom in/out, jump to a specific page, and not have the "Proof" watermark over the artwork), you can achieve this by connecting the campaign item to your system's Media Library via an iFrame.
Adding this functionality to your system only takes a few minutes per campaign item and utilizes CampaignDrive's Asset URL Generator feature. You would also need access to an iFrame code generator - these are widely available, often for free, on the Internet.
Steps to Add this to Functionality to Your System:
• Generate a publicly available URL for an asset using the Asset URL Generator feature
• Using an iFrame code generator, paste the URL into the generator along with any other requested information and create a code snippet for your specific asset.
• Place that code snippet into the long description field.
• Review the results on the front end!
Definition: An iFrame, short for inline frame, is an HTML element that contains another HTML document within it. For the purposes of this thumbnail use case, it's what allows an image from another webpage to appear inside the long description field.
