Configuring Captions for Image Previews
This article explains how to configure captions for image previews in fylr.
In fylr, you can render dynamic captions directly onto preview images. Captions can display fixed values or values from the record, giving context and improving visual identification of files. The available options allow you to customize both the content and appearance of the captions.
Preconditions
Captions are applied to watermarked renditions. By default, every fylr instance includes a watermarked rendition, which can be found in the Base Configuration > Fileworker. Additional watermark versions can be added through the Fileworker, but it is important to ensure that any new versions are correctly marked as "watermarked" in the rendition configuration to enable captions.
Caption Configuration
For object types that are not pool managed, enable & configure captions in:
Rights Management > Object Types > [Select Object Type] > Watermark tab
For pool-managed object types, enable & configure captions in:
Rights Management > Pools > [Select Pool] > Watermark tab
Start by adding a row in the Fields table and selecting the file field for which you want to create captions. In the next column, enter the caption text, which can be either static text or include placeholders to dynamically render values from the record.
You can also customize the appearance of captions using the following options:
Size – Set the font size in px or %.
Padding – Set spacing around the caption in px.
Multiline – Recommended for long captions; wraps text to the next line.
Overlay – Determines whether the caption is rendered on top of the image or appended below it.
When you save a caption configuration, the system prompts you to resync all affected records (in the pool or object type) to create or update the renditions. It is recommended to perform this immediately. Resync can also be triggered later via /inspect/files.
