Attach images and documents to assets

Learn how to attach images and documents to assets via the web app and mobile app.

Why add images and documents to assets?

Adding images and documents to assets helps teams access and share information by providing additional context that text fields alone may not capture. This also provides a complete view of an asset's lifecycle, aiding in better decisions on utilization, refurbishment, and replacement of assets. Additionally, teams can add QR codes for quick access to asset profiles. Scanning these codes directs team members to the asset profile, simplifying inspections and action creation by automatically populating the asset and site details.

What you'll need
