Mobile Attachments

Use Mobile Attachments to attach documents to task groups or tasks within procedures. The Mobile Attachments always appear after the Server Attachments, if any, in the File Attachments screen. Mobile attachments are usually supporting information for the value captured in the task or task group. in the form of PDF documents, spreadsheets, and graphics to help in rounds or surveillances. The documents are stored in the external memory of the mobile device, where third-party apps can edit, annotate, and replace the documents. The document that is attached can be viewed or annotated only if the appropriate app is installed on the mobile device.

Note:
- The default extensions for images and videos captured on the Mobile device are JPEG and MP4 respectively.
- The file extensions configured in the System Settings module of the AVEVA Mobile Operator web application are only for file attachment selection.
- Mobile Attachments, if any, can be viewed in the Auditor Plus reports for the respective task group or task. For more information on Auditor Plus, refer to the Management Center User's Guide.
