Labor plans often need more than step text. If the operator has to hunt through shared drives or email threads to find a photo or a short video, you risk misbuilds, rework, and inconsistent execution.

Cetec ERP supports linking images or videos into a labor plan so the media is available where the work is being done. The key is uploading the media through Docs, making it public, and then embedding the link on the labor plan.

Prerequisite: Allow Unsafe Tags

Before you upload media that will be embedded as a link, you need to enable a configuration setting. By default, Cetec ERP blocks potentially dangerous tags, which also blocks most images and videos from being uploaded for embedding.

Go to Admin, open Config Settings, then set the config named "allow_unsafe_tags" to a value of 1.

Create a Process Folder to Store Media

After the configuration is set, go to Admin, select the Docs tab, then choose Processes from the dropdown. In Processes, click "create new" and name the process object folder for how you want to organize these images and videos.

Upload Media and Set It Public

Once the process object exists, upload your images and videos into it. After each upload, click the "yes" link in the "ID" column to open the record and adjust its privacy settings.

Set the media record to public. This step is required, otherwise the link will not work when you try to embed it in a labor plan.

Embed the Media in a Labor Plan

After the media is public, copy the link from the document record. Then open the labor plan and use the "upload image" tool to add the image or video link to the plan.

Key Takeaways

• Set "allow_unsafe_tags" to 1 before attempting to upload embedded images or videos.
• Store media in a Docs Process object so it stays organized and easy to find.
• After uploading, open the media record and set it to public, otherwise the link will not work.
• Copy the public link and embed it in the labor plan using the labor plan image upload tool.

Conclusion

Attaching images and videos to a labor plan is a practical way to keep work instructions close to the job. When the configuration is set correctly and documents are made public, your team can embed the right media directly in Cetec ERP where production needs it.
