Add an Image to a Checkpoint

This topic describes how to add an image to a checkpoint that will appear when you access the checkpoint in Rounds Data Collection.

Note: The image must be a compressed file type (e.g., .png or .jpg), and the size of the image file must not exceed 100 KB.

Steps

1. Access the Route containing the checkpoint to which you want to add an image.

2. In the left pane, select the checkpoint.

   The datasheet for the checkpoint appears.

   

3. In the datasheet, in the Checkpoint Image box, select .

   The Select Reference Document window appears, displaying reference documents that are one of the following file types:

   • .png
   • .jpg

   If you have not previously uploaded the image that you want to display, select Upload Image.

   The Select Reference Document window appears.

   

5. In the ID box, enter an ID for the reference document.

   Note: The ID is what appears to the device user in the Select Reference Document window.

   Hint: You should limit the length of the ID to optimize display on the mobile device.

6. In the Description box, enter a description of the reference document.

7. In the Document Path box, select .

   The Edit Document Path window appears.

   

8. Select the desired document or provide a path to it, and then select Save.

    The image file is added to the datasheet for the checkpoint.

• The specified image appears in the workspace for the checkpoint in Rounds Data Collection.

  Tip: In Rounds Data Collection, you can select the image to display it in full screen.

Example: A Checkpoint with an Image in Rounds Data Collection

Suppose that you have a Route containing a checkpoint to inspect flanges on a pipe. You can add an image of the flanges to that checkpoint in Rounds Designer so that it can be easily referenced while collecting readings in Rounds Data Collection, as shown in the following image.
