User Sample Photos

As part of the myLab app release 4.05, users have the ability to upload a photo along with any sample taken. This capability is also available in the myLab web portal.

myLab App

• At the bottom of the “Enter Sample Information” screen, the Photo tab can be selected which opens the upload area.
• You can take an image or select an image from your photo library. With a slightly redesigned in-app label view to maximize available space, the tab at the very bottom of each label is now a photo upload area.

• One photo can be uploaded for each sample.
• There are 3 defined photo types – Magnetic Plug, Filter, and Other.
  • If Magnetic Plug is selected, you can also enter a Mag. Plug Rating.
  • If ‘Other’ photo type is selected you can enter name or short description for the photo.

myLab Web Portal

• The multiple photo type upload is mirrored in the myLab web portal
• When on the sample registration screen, select the Photo tab.
• Similar to the mobile app, upload a photo related to the sample from your computer, indicate the photo type, and depending on the type, include the additional information as required.

View Photos

• Photos uploaded via the app or web portal will be viewable in the in-transit section of new results and once the sample is processed in the sample review screen.
• Use the photos to document the physical condition of the component being sampled to cross reference with the sample results.
• Mag plug images and ratings can also be used to trend changes over time in comparison to the trends noted in sample results.
