Drawings and pins

A pin marks an exact point on a drawing, plan, photo, map or schematic. It's useful when a written note such as "by the rear door" would leave room for doubt, for example marking exactly which socket failed on a floor plan.

Add a pin

  1. Open the form or task that has the drawing attached.
  2. Add the pin at the right place.
  3. Add the note your workspace asks for.

The pin stays attached to that drawing, so anyone reviewing the record later can see exactly what it refers to.

Before you start

Check you're using the latest version of the drawing before adding a pin. A pin on an older version can still be useful evidence, but don't mistake it for a mark on the current plan. Keep the pin with its task or form response so the reason for it stays clear.

For [job], find the drawing used for the inspection and tell me whether there is an image-pin form ready to use.
