Capturing Images in the Quality Management Tablet Interface

NetSuite enables quality engineers to use the Quality Management SuiteApp tablet interface to capture images, associate them with a quality record, and upload them to a NetSuite File Cabinet. This helps improve and support inspections and processing returns and refunds related to quality non-conformance.

The quality administrator designates a quality file cabinet folder for storing images, controlling folder access, and managing cabinet quota.

For more information, see Creating File Cabinet Folders.

Quality engineers use the tablet to take a picture during an inspection and then save the images for review and support quality findings. NetSuite automatically uploads images to the file cabinet and records them against the inspection.

To capture images in the Quality Management tablet interface:

  1. To link an image to inspection data, do one of the following:

    • To take a picture, on the tablet interface, tap the Photo (Tablet Camera Icon) icon.

    • To select an image from the device, click the Image (Tablet Image Icon) icon.

    The following screenshot shows how an image is linked to inspection data.

    Image Example

    Double-click the image to preview the image in a separate browser window.

  2. To transfer the image to the NetSuite Field Cabinet, click Record.

  3. Give the image a unique and descriptive name.

    For example, <queue record ID> - <inspection ID> - <field ID>.<image format extension> (312 - 12 - 23.jpg).

  4. Associate the new file with the quality data inspection record.

When you upload larger images, they may not upload immediately. The following table displays the average upload time for different image sizes.
