# **Media Upload Questions**

Media upload questions in uAuditor allow inspectors to capture photos or videos during inspections as supporting evidence. These questions help verify inspection results visually and improve accountability across operational workflows.

Media evidence strengthens compliance tracking and ensures inspection findings are properly documented.

## **What Are Media Upload Questions?**

A media upload question requires inspectors to attach visual evidence while answering a checklist item.

This may include:

- photos of equipment condition

- incident-related visuals

These attachments become part of the inspection record.

## **Why Use Media Upload Questions**

Media upload questions help organizations:

- strengthen accountability across branches

They provide reliable evidence for inspection decisions.

## **When to Use Media Upload Questions**

Media upload questions are especially useful when inspections involve:

- hygiene verification

They ensure inspection outcomes are supported by proof.
