Pictures from Outside Sources
Has there been any internal discussion about pictures from outside sources? The tablet is pretty good at taking pictures, but sometimes you can't get a tablet where you need it and you take a picture with a borescope or similar. It would be nice if we had a way to attach those to a labor line. I often take screen grabs of scan tool data, too. Currently taking a picture of a picture; not so good.

Ric, you're aware of the flyout menu with the option to add pic from gallery on the tablet? You can email a picture to the tablet, then attach it there. Also I need to check if this can be done in the inspection editor.

I forgot about the flyout menu, but was mostly concerned with labor lines. The flyout menu is limited in folder choices as well. I would like to see that expanded.
Thanks for the reminder.

Re: Pictures from Outside Sources
Is this what you are looking for?
Go to an inspection, in a point tap on the camera icon.
Tap Upper right Android menu
From bottom of drop down menu "pick from gallery"
Any picture that is in the tablet's photo gallery can be imported to and inspection point.
Meaning that any device that stores pictures there can be used and imported.
This option can also be used if you are out of your WIFI signal zone. Take pictures with the tablet camera, then import with the same method.
