📸 QR Code Asset Creation: Asset Picture Logic

What changed?

When creating assets by scanning QR codes, there is now an enhancement regarding the handling of uploaded images.

Previously:

• If a user added a picture during the asset creation process via a QR code, this image would be stored within the Documents tab.

Now:

• When an asset is created through this method and a picture is added, the first uploaded image will be automatically used as the asset's picture .

• This only applies if there is no existing image set for:

  • the asset itself

  • the asset type

  • or the asset category

Our new functionality will only work if your qrAttachmentOptional feature flag is set to true. This is a standard setting for accounts. In case you have requested any changes in the past and want to revert them, please contact support@toolsense.io or your CSM.

Image logic hierarchy:

When determining the asset's picture, the system follows this order:

1. Check if a profile picture is added in the Asset > Edit tab

2. If none, use the image from the Asset Type

3. If none, use the image from the Asset Category

4. If none of the above have an image, and an image was uploaded during QR code asset creation, that image becomes the picture

5. If no image is found anywhere, a default blank icon is displayed

Deleting images from documents

• If the QR-uploaded image is deleted from the Documents tab, the picture will not change automatically.

• The image remains as the picture unless manually removed or changed from the profile settings.

Overwriting logic

If an image was first added via QR code and then a new image is added via:

• Asset > Edit tab

• Asset Type

• Asset Category

The new image will overwrite the QR code image as the asset picture.

Remove Image functionality

A new "Remove Image" feature is available

Users can now remove an image directly from:

• the asset edit pane

• the asset type level

• the asset category level

Previously, only image replacement was possible.

What happens when an image is removed?

• If removed from Asset > Edit tab: the asset inherits the image from Asset Type (if one exists)

• If removed from Asset Type: the asset inherits the image from Asset Category (if available)
