To link an image to an attribute

If a point has a file name attribute, you can use the file name attribute to link an image to the attribute.

You should not rename a file after attaching it to an observation. Files renamed after attaching will not be downloaded with the job.

  1. In the measure or stakeout screen, enter the feature code. The feature code must have a file name attribute.

    If the code has multiple file name attributes, or if the point has multiple codes, the image will be linked to the first file name attribute that appears when you view the attribute screen.

  2. To link the image to a specific file name attribute, tap Attrib and select the required file name field.

  3. Measure the point.

    If the View before storage check box is enabled in the Measure point options screen, then the attribute form automatically appears when you store the point.

  4. To view the attributes screen, tap Attrib.

  5. To capture an image using the camera in the controller, tap in the attribute form or press the appropriate key on the controller keypad.

    The name of the image appears in the photo file name field.

  6. To review the image; tap next to the photo file name field and select Review.

    In a conventional survey, if you selected the Attrib softkey before measuring and storing the point and you have elected to annotate the image with the position coordinates, the coordinates are shown as null because the point has not yet been measured.
