About uploading photos in Inspection Manager CMS

You can upload photos to an inspection after the inspection has been completed and opened in edit mode through the CMS. The upload option is available from the Conditions section of the report, where each area includes a camera icon for adding images


Add photos to an area

Before you can upload photos, open the inspection report in edit mode from the Inspections area of the CMS. The inspection must be in Completed status before the View Report option is available.

  • Go to: Inspections

  • Find the inspection with Completed status

  • Select the drop-down next to View Report

  • Select Edit

  • Scroll to the Conditions section of the report

  • In the relevant area, select the camera icon on the right-hand side of the report

  • In the Add Photos window, do one of the following:

    • Drag and drop the image files into the upload area

    • Select the upload area to browse and choose files from your computer

  • Select one or more images to upload

  • Confirm the file selection so the images appear in the upload window

Tip: You can upload multiple photos in the same upload window, saving time when updating several images for a single inspection area.


Change the area for an uploaded photo

After a photo is added, you can change the area assigned to it from the drop-down list above the image. For Routine inspections, you can change the Area. For Ingoing and Outgoing inspections, you can change both the Area and Item.

  • Select the drop-down arrow above the uploaded photo

  • Search for or select the correct Area

  • If the inspection is Ingoing or Outgoing, also select the correct Item if prompted

Note: The option to change Item applies to Ingoing and Outgoing inspections. Routine inspections only allow you to change the Area for each uploaded photo.


Rotate or delete a photo

You can correct the orientation of an uploaded photo or remove a photo before saving the changes.

  • Select the rotate icon to rotate the image by 90 degrees with each click

  • Select the delete icon if you uploaded the wrong image

  • Confirm the deletion when prompted

Note: If you delete a photo by mistake, you need to upload it again.

After you have checked the assigned area and image orientation, save the photos to add them to the report.

  • Review each uploaded image to make sure it is assigned to the correct area

  • Check that each image is rotated correctly

  • Select Save

  • Select OK in the confirmation message to continue editing the report
