Linking Photograph Images to Incident
When a new Incident (or other Object Class) record is first raised, the Date / Time Record started is noted by HighLight. It is expected that in general use this step will be undertaken before any photographs are taken and Highlight will use this time stamp to identify what images have been taken and relate to the current record.
The images control is also given on the HighLight prompt list. Click on the data row to activate the promptClick on the data row to activate the prompt

Highlight will identify the selected images, and rename them to relate to the current record (name includes a serial count, and the current Object GUID reference).
