From the mobile apps, you can use a phone's camera function to capture an image, attach the image to the current record as a document, and then view the image. You can also, from the mobile app, view documents that were attached to records in the Web Central environment.
Many of the ARCHIBUS mobile apps offer a camera button so that you can invoke your mobile device's camera function directly from the mobile app.
Once you take the picture, the system prompts you to attach it to the current record, such as the current work request or assessment item. When you sync, pictures captured from the mobile app are uploaded to the database and stored as documents in the database.
After you take a picture and attach it as a document, you may wish to annotate it, such as to point out an area that needs repair or furniture that should be removed from an office. In these cases, you can mark up (redline) the photo just as you would a floor plan drawing. For information, see Redlining Floor Plans and Images.
In the Web Central environment, a facility manager, maintenance manager, or other user may attach documents to a record that will be viewed in the mobile environment. For example, a facility manager might attach assessment check lists to an assessment project or a maintenance manager might attach a PDF of a repair manual to a maintenance item. From mobile, you can access:
If a record has attached documents, the app's Documents button will indicate the number of attached documents.
To view a document:
On iOS the system uses the iOS browser to view documents; on Android, the system loads the file from the file system.
