Picture

The Picture tab is used to display the photo, or digital image file, that is associated with the selected feature. The file name of the digital image is stored in a field associated with the selected feature’s shapefile. A feature can have multiple photos associated with it, but each photo file name needs to be stored in a unique field.

The associated photo can be changed by either using the camera button to open the camera tool for capturing a new photo or by using the folder button to choose an existing photo on your device.
