Examination

The examination is based on a group of activities, and these activities may vary depending on the selection of the "Process Template."

Once all the required activities under the examination results are completed, the user can complete the Examination Result group activity by clicking on the "Complete" button, which will then open the Engineer Review.

📄 Generating Report Preview

• If any errors occur during report generation, they will also be displayed in this section for further action.

Photo Ordering

Examiners are able to preview and set the order of photos as they appear in the generated report PDFs. This can be accessed from the "Order Photos" button.

Users can reorder the images in the grid by dragging and dropping each row in the photo grid using the three horizontal line icon as shown in the image below. Once happy with the order, clicking "Save" will save the order. The plus icon (+) can be used to show a larger image to help with ordering.

Once an order has been selected any new images added to forms will be added to the end of the order to preserve the image order.

Images removed once given an order will cause subsequent images to have their order altered. A warning message as shown below will notify the user.

A default ordering can be applied by using the "Reset" button.
