Photo Tagging for Inventory Monitoring

To verify specific promotional elements are present and correctly placed in a pharmacy, users can capture evidence of these items by taking a photo and linking it directly to a product on the Inventory Monitoring record.
To capture general images as attachments that are not associated with specific Inventory Monitoring lines, see Capturing and Attaching Photos.
