Add Report Comment (or image)
A comment or additional image file may be included in the report. There is no inherent limit to the length of text that may be included. IF desired, and image may be included (a typical image might be a scan of the printed tape output from an autoclave). Text comments or embedded images are not saved (they will exist only within the printed output of the report).
Note: The text and image processing capabilities of DT Pro are limited. It may be necessary to reduce image sizes using external tools. Within the comment input window, a button is provided to preview how the comment and / or image will appear on the report.
