Show a reference image right on the crew card, not behind a tap

Requests can already carry a reference document: a contract to read, a floor plan to check, a form to sign and return. When that document is an image, a button the crew member has to tap is one step too many. The picture is the instruction. This batch lets it show in place.

A switch on image attachments

Attach an image to a request (PNG, JPEG, or WebP) and a new option appears: Show image inline on the crew member’s run of show. Tick it and the picture renders directly on their card instead of sitting behind a tap-to-open link.

You’ll see it both ways: when you first upload the image, and afterwards next to the attached file, with a small thumbnail so you know exactly which picture you’re toggling. It’s image-only, so PDFs and links keep the tap-to-open button they’ve always had.

What it’s for

The cases where crew should just see the thing, not work to find it:

  • A “required PPE” photo above the box where they confirm they have it.
  • A site-access map or dock diagram so the load-in route is on screen, not one tap away.
  • A uniform or dress-code reference before they pick a size or send a photo back.
  • An induction or safety graphic crew should take in at a glance.

For anything they need to read in full (a multi-page contract, terms, a detailed floor plan), the tap-to-open button is still the right call: leave the switch off and the document opens in its own tab. Inline is for the picture that does its job the instant it’s seen.

It works the same on a request sent to one crew member and on an event-wide request sent to everyone. More on attaching reference documents in general is in the reference documents help article.
