Add Images to Containers on the Web Platform

The platform acts as a robust tool for managing and organising containers. It serves as a centralised storage system, allowing you to store important information and images related to containers. This article shows how to add images on the platform

 

Images of containers are used for a variety of reasons:

  • To provide a visual representation of where and how the sensor was installed.
  • To capture container (container type, container ID number etc...)
  • To showcase the environment surrounding the container. This is especially useful for troubleshooting potential connectivity problems.

When installing the sensor, it is essential to take and upload images that cover all three aspects to each container on the platform.

Upon logging into the platform, you will be automatically taken to the Collections module. Otherwise, navigate to the Collections module located on the top left-hand side of the screen.
