In the Dashboard of your Admin Portal, you can now check a preview of the larger image that your field team adds to their inspections. Moreover, you can automatically extract images from tasks to your Fluix File Storage or external cloud storage
By routing images directly to your ‘Dashboard’, you’ll simplify the photo review and reporting process. You can eliminate manual image handling, and the new thumbnail view lets you verify media without opening individual PDFs.
Furthermore, the option to export forms and media as a single consolidated ZIP file or as standalone image sets enables you to share documentation with clients more efficiently.
Let’s take a closer look at both of these options.
How to extract images separately to Fluix Storage?
You can configure image extraction to File Storage in the workflow builder using the Upload to Storage action.
What does this mean for your forms and processes?
When completed tasks are submitted, the filled forms are archived to the preconfigured destination in your selected cloud storage. Any images added to the forms are also uploaded separately to the same destination path.
Below is an example of how this may look in case you store the completed PDFs in Fluix File Storage: a completed form submitted by your field team, along with the separate images they added to the form.
Note: Images added to a form are still saved within the form itself. This option provides an additional way to store images separately for quicker access when needed.
