# Uploading Media

# **Uploading Media**

The Uploading Media feature in the uAuditor mobile app allows users to attach photos and supporting files to actions directly from their device. Media attachments help verify corrective action completion and provide clear documentation for supervisors and auditors 📷

Uploading evidence improves accountability and ensures issues are resolved properly.

## **Why Media Upload Is Important**

Adding media to actions helps:

- confirm corrective work completion
- document before-and-after conditions
- support compliance verification
- provide visual proof for supervisors
- improve audit traceability
- strengthen reporting accuracy

Media evidence ensures corrective actions are properly validated.

## **Types of Media That Can Be Uploaded**

Users can upload different types of supporting files, including:

- photos captured using the device camera
- images selected from the gallery
- supporting documents (if enabled)

Available options depend on system configuration and permissions.

## **Steps to Upload Media to an Action**

To upload media:

1. Open the uAuditor mobile app
2. Navigate to Actions
3. Select the assigned action
4. Tap Add Media
5. Capture a photo or choose a file from your device
6. Confirm the upload
7. Save the action

The media becomes immediately attached to the action record.

## **Uploading Media During Action Completion**

Some actions require media before they can be completed.

In these cases:

- the upload field appears as required
- submission is restricted until media is added
- supervisors can verify completion visually

This ensures consistent documentation standards.

## **Supporting Approval Workflows**

Uploaded media helps reviewers:

- verify issue resolution
- confirm corrective steps were applied
- assess compliance status
- approve completed actions faster

This improves workflow efficiency across teams.

## **Example Use Case**

Example scenario:

A technician replaces a damaged safety sign identified during an inspection.

They:

- open the assigned action
- capture a photo of the replacement sign
- upload the image
- mark the action as completed

Supervisors can immediately confirm the correction.

## **Best Practices for Uploading Media**

To ensure effective documentation:

- capture clear and well-lit images
- include the full correction area in photos
- avoid blurred or incomplete evidence
- upload media immediately after completing work
- verify uploads before submitting the action

Uploading media in the uAuditor mobile app helps teams document corrective actions accurately and supports reliable compliance verification across operational locations.
