Working with Assets

Assigning Multiple Assets to GeoTag

Asset management is handled in the Assets section of the GeoTag Properties panel.

Note: At the top of the Assets section, a counter displays the current number of assets linked to the selected GeoTag. This provides a quick overview of how many files or resources are associated with the GeoTag.

This functionality allows multiple assets to be attached to a single GeoTag. This enables users to enrich GeoTag annotations with additional materials that support documentation, inspection, or analysis.

Asset Sources

Assets can be sourced from different locations, including:

• Existing resources within the current project

• User's local disk

• External resources
  Users can attach a link to any resource available on the web (e.g., technical documentation, cloud-hosted images, instructional videos).
