Adding Images to Intervention Reports with Ermeo
Ermeo allows you to edit your intervention reports, including the ability to display images in your desired format.
How to Use This Feature
Using Ermeo, you can customize your reports, which can be in Word or Excel format. To insert data from interventions into your reports, we use a tagging system. To display images in your reports, we rely on this system.
To retrieve these tags, there are two methods:
- Each element (widget) in your form has a tag. You can click on the tag button to retrieve it.
- Each form has a configuration file. This file contains all the tags for the elements in your form and can be found in the Custom Reports tab of your form.
What Makes Image Tags Different?
You can customize the size of the images in your report. The desired size in pixels must be added to the tag. To do this, add ":image-widthxheight" after the tag and before ##.
Examples:
- ##task_ref:image-300x300## for an image of 300x300 pixels.
- ##task_ref:image-x100## displays the image with a height of 100 pixels and proportional width.
- ##task_ref:image-100x## displays the image with a width of 100 pixels and proportional height.
How to Display Photos in Your Reports
Context: Create a form so that an operator can take photos of anomalies encountered.
- In your form, drag and drop the Photo widget. Name it "Photo Anomaly".
- Copy the tag of the "Photo Anomaly" widget and paste it into your custom report.
- Paste the tag into your report template. Modify the tag so that the image appears in the format 300x300 pixels.
- Import the custom report template.
- Perform an intervention with the form and take a photo of an anomaly.
- Download the report of your intervention with the correct report template.
- The photo appears in your report.
Additional Tips
- For signatures, you must also specify a size in pixels. Example of a signature tag: ##signature34920:image-300x##
- If no pixel size is specified for an image, the image will not appear in the custom report.
- In Excel reports, it is not possible to center images within an Excel cell.
By following these steps, you can ensure that your intervention reports are fully customized to include images and other data in the precise format you need.
