Enhanced Display of Asset Images

We have made several improvements to how asset images are displayed within the application, enhancing both functionality and performance:

• Pop-up Windows: Pop-ups on the map now display an image of the asset, providing immediate visual context.
• Enhanced Zoom: When you zoom in on the map, the asset icons change to small thumbnail pictures, offering a clearer and more detailed view.
• Grid View Speed: The grid view of images now loads much faster due to optimised image sizes, allowing you to view numerous assets quickly and efficiently.

Side Drawer for Quick Access

Introducing the new side drawer feature, designed to provide quick and easy access to asset details and editing options:

• Quick View: When you click on an asset within the map view, list view, or grid view, a side drawer opens displaying all the asset details.
• Easy Editing: Quickly edit asset information directly from the side drawer, streamlining the management process.
• Expandable: The side drawer can be expanded to a full-page view if required, providing a more detailed interface for managing asset information.

This new feature enhances productivity by making it easier to view and update asset details on the fly.
