Using Diagrams in an Inspection Report
After assigning diagrams to comments, they will automatically be added to a report when that comment is selected.
- In an inspection report, open an item
- Click Add Comment
- Comments with Diagrams already assigned will have a picture icon denoting how many diagrams are assigned to it
- Adding a comment with an assigned diagram will add the diagram to the comment's media. The diagram is now a part of the comment media. It can be annotated or removed from the comment for that report.
Diagrams added to the report will not appear under the Media Tab. This decision was made with inspector input to keep inspection photos separate from diagrams and not to clutter the Media Tab.
