List of Assets can be represented as a worksheet in Excel, and the Properties as the column headers in that worksheet.
All of the Assets inside an Inspection will have similar property types, but with differing values.

Photos
The images attached to an Asset are considered to be a unique type of attachments, specifically Photos. They are presented in the same tab as the text/document Attachments, but have a special treatment in Azenzus Inspection Manager.
As a Photo we consider any attachment with image file format (JPG/JPEG, PNG, GIF).
For every Photo added to an Asset user can see the following:
photo name
preview thumbnail of the Photo
comment (if available)
attach documents and image files of various formats to an Asset.
Visit Attachments to learn more.
It is a good practice to capture photos of an Asset during the inspection, as it may later serve as additional verification source for Asset data/confirms inspection of the correct Asset. The suggested list of photos that shall be taken for every Asset is:
general picture of an Asset
picture of the tag/identification plate (if any)
picture of a nameplate with a serial number, OEM info, etc.
additional pictures of the infrastructure related to the Asset (pipes, cables, insulation, switches, etc.).
