Add an image as a layout element to record view?

Is there a way to add an image as a layout element to record view? I want to use this image in my record view. I know I can do it in a print layout, but I see no way to do it in record view. I tried an image field, button, head and space. None work.

    If your intent is to have the image appear across all records, create another table named "My Preferences" that only has one record and a image field named "img". Add the above image to that field. Then in your existing table add a formula field with:

    select 'My Preferences'.img

    Or you could change the code to make it conditional based on what is selected from another field. Not sure what your use case is.

    Can you explain the conditional way more? That sounds like what I want.

    For example, if you have a Choice field that is named "Choices", with items:

    Yes

    No

    Maybe

     

    You could use:

    if text(Choices) = "Yes" then
       (select 'My Preferences').img
    end

    Here's a problem I ran into. How do I stop it from showing in the global search? The formula field deos not have a Global Search checkbox.

    I think global finds show the first 8 columns, so under Edit Fields you could drag your formula field down so it is lower than the 8th colomn (field). However, that is not a good solution.

    I did rearrange my entire record view screen to accommodate this failing of the app. There's no good reason why Find is so inflexible.

    I wish there was an option to turn off global finds entirely.

    Agreed, and I wish that table Find worked as a filter like global Find works. The results list is reduced with each character added to the find, and works in revese. Why it doesn't work that way is a mystery to me.
