Asset Images

You can store images and associate them with an asset through the asset's Images tab in Asset Detail or through the activated Image Manager iconabove the Asset List. There are many images useful to an asset's record. Images can include drawings (schematics), scanned photographs, and scanned documentation (such as an invoice, purchase order, or warranty information).

The application accepts the following standard file formats:

The file sizes of the stored images do add to the overall size of your database. You do not need to scan your images at a high resolution. We recommend using the JPEG format because of all formats, it offers the best compression.

Because most PDFs can be large files, the application stores them outside the database to help ensure better overall performance. If you want PDFs to be stored within the database, simply convert them to JPEG or other image file type before attaching them to assets.
