Context #
This guide describes a flow in AjourInspect & QA — a web-based construction management system for registering and handling defects, supervision and quality assurance. The flow takes place in the AjourInspect & QA module, where
registrations are shown in a list view with attached images. You can open and download the images attached to a specific registration directly from the system.
Relevance #
This guide is relevant when you need to save or share images from a registration locally on your computer — for example for use in reports, for sharing with collaborators or for documentation purposes outside the system.
Prerequisites and requirements #
- You have access to AjourInspect & QA with a valid login
- Your user has permission to “View” registrations. Project permissions (see Inspect / QA → Registrations → VIEW)
- You have access to the relevant project in the system
- You have selected a note type (Supervisory, Project, Defect, Preregistration or QA)
Guide (step by step) #
Step 1: Open AjourInspect & QA and select the relevant project: Use the drop-down menu at the top left under Project to select the project you want to work with. A drop-down list shows the available projects — click the one you want.
Step 2: Select a note type: Click AjourInspect & QA in the top navigation bar. Then click a note type in the tabs in the secondary menu. The system shows a list of registrations for the selected project.
Step 3: Find the registration that contains the images you want: Browse the list of registrations. Registrations with attached images are shown with a thumbnail in the leftmost column. Identify the registration whose images you want to download.
Step 4: Open the image viewer: Click the thumbnail in the row of the relevant registration. A pop-up window opens with a preview of the image and the text “Image X of Y” at the bottom.
Step 5: Navigate between images (if there are several): Use the left and right arrows in the pop-up window to page through the attached images. The text at the bottom shows which image you are currently viewing.
Step 6: Download the image: Click the “Download original file” link at the bottom of the pop-up window. The file is downloaded automatically to your computer’s default download folder. Repeat for each image you want to save.
Step 7: Confirm the download: Open the Downloads folder on your computer. The downloaded image files appear with today’s date and time as the creation time. You can preview, move or share the files from there.
Step 8: Repeat: Repeat for each registration whose images you want to download.
Next steps #
- Organize the downloaded images in a folder structure that matches the project and registration number so they are easy to find again
- Attach images to a report by inserting them into a Word or PDF document as documentation
- Share the images with relevant parties by e-mail or a file-sharing platform, for example as an appendix to a defect list
- Consider whether it is more valuable to handle the images directly on the Ajour platform. For example, by printing a combined report of all the registrations.
