  1. HBR-04

    Shore nodes, then the node. Installation shows what the next engineer will read.

  2. Edit

    Serial, mount, position and installation notes. Moving the pin moves the node on the map.

  3. Save

    The portal checks first. The notes show on the node and on its label sheet.

  4. Add photo

    Upload one from site, or pick one from the library of node photos and frames.

Open HBR-04 from Shore nodes. Installation shows what the next engineer will read on site: the serial, the mount, where it is, the notes and a photo. HBR-04 has no notes and no photo yet.

Choose Edit at the top. Change the serial or the mount, move the pin if the node has moved, and write installation notes that will help whoever goes next.

Choose Save and confirm. The notes now show on the node's page.

Choose Add photo. Upload one taken on site, or open Library and pick one. Choose Use this image, then Use image. It is kept in evidence storage next to the node's captures.
