Behavior

ForceNote

None.

The inspector is not required* to enter a note, Event, Cause, or Action Taken when defects or real-time failures are present in any of this sub-inspection’s tests.

 

* [PC only] This can be overridden for any Numeric Input, Pass/Fail, Rating, or Defect List test by setting that test's ForceNote property to a value other than "Use Sub-Inspection Settings".

Click the ForceNote property and then click the button to choose a combination of options on the ForceNote window for the sub-inspection. For details, see Setting the ForceNote property.

NoteVisible

True. Allows the inspector to enter sub-inspection note using the Note button.

False. Prevents the inspector from entering a sub-inspection note.

PictureEmailAddress

[blank]

Enter the email address where an image for a sub-inspection will be sent.

Note: This property only applies when the PictureStorage sub-inspection property is set to Email or Both.

PictureMode

Off disables the use of a camera or webcam to take pictures and disables attaching images to sub-inspection data.

Alllow an image file to be attached at one of these resolutions:
Low 240x320px (recommended)
Medium_Low 360x480px;
Medium_High 480x640px;
High 768x1024px

Higher resolutions increase the image quality but create larger image files.

These four options allow the inspector to take a picture using an integrated or external camera or webcam. On PC, the inspection also has the option to select an existing file and attach it to the data.

Uses the PictureStorage property to determine how the pictures are used and stored.

PictureStorage

StoreWithData

The image file is stored in a sub-folder of the User Documents 1 folder. (This sub-folder name is based on the year and month when the data was submitted.)

The sub-inspection Note for this data contains a reference to this image file.

Email sends the image to the email address recipient noted in the PictureEmailAddress sub-inspection property.

Both performs both the Email and StoreWithData functions.

ShowCancelButton

True. Allows the inspector to cancel the sub-inspection without submitting its data.

False. Cancel button is not displayed on the Inspection viewer. The inspector must submit data.

VideoMode

Off.

[Mobile] Video recording is disabled.

[PC] Attaching videos to sub-inspection data is disabled.

Selecting Low or Medium resolution allows sub-inspection to include video capture.

[Mobile] Low 640x480px or Medium 960x540px (recommended) resolution enables video recording at this resolution. The video file is stored in the User Doc 1 folder and a reference to it is added to the data in the Note field for that sub-inspection.

[PC] The attached videos are always stored at their original resolution. Uses the PictureStorage property to determine how the videos are used and stored.
