Access the Images Fields

Images attached to a record in PCS provide a visual representation of the pipeline or facility, whether it is a schematic design, an identifying picture, or other graphic. Information images can show what the pipeline or facility looked like at specific points in time or to demonstrate details included in the information record. Inspection images can further illustrate items described in the inspection. Images attached to a maintenance record before maintenance is performed can show the specific item that requires maintenance, while images attached after the work is done can serve as proof the maintenance was complete.

The following image fields are available and can be added to a grid or form in Edit <Module> Data and, depending on the report type, to a form report in Reports/Graphs:

• Pipeline Maintenance Images — attaches images to a pipeline maintenance record.

• Facility Images — attaches images to a base facility record.

• Facility Information Images — attaches images to a facility information record.

• Facility Inspection Images — attaches images to a facility inspection record.

• Facility Maintenance Images — attaches images to a facility maintenance record.

The following image fields may be available to view in Edit <Module> Data but are only available for managing images in Edit ROW Detail.

• Pipeline Images — displays attached images to a base pipeline record.

• Pipeline Information Images — attaches images to a pipeline information record.
