Besides visual elements, you can also add visual pages to a work instruction step.

What Is a Visual Page?

Each work instruction step can have one or multiple visual pages. Check out the image below to see what a visual page is:

The interface includes options for adding pages, descriptions, and annotations. A high-resolution image of a well-organized workstation with drills, wrenches, and washers is shown, ensuring workers check provided equipment as instructed.

  1. Click to add a new visual page.
  2. This is the displayed visual page.
  3. Use this section to select the visual page that you would like to be displayed. You can scroll up & down if you have multiple visual pages to select from.

Which Types of Visual Pages Are Available?

  1. An image
  2. A video
  3. A PDF file
  4. A Microsoft Office file (Word/Excel/PowerPoint). You can also edit Microsoft Office files in Azumuta – see how you can do it here.
  5. An ERP tag (you can link an ERP tag to Microsoft SharePoint)
  6. A 3D file
  7. iframe (you can insert a link to a specific webpage to be displayed in a work instruction step)
  8. An image with a specific format (for example: the image must be of a certain size). Please contact us through our support@azumuta.com email if you would like to have this this type of visual page.

The dropdown menu includes choices like images, videos, PDFs, office files, 3D files, iframes, ERP tags, and SharePoint PDFs. A preview of an open PDF file titled 'First Aid: The Handbook' is visible in the document viewer.

Here’s an example of a work instruction step that contains multiple pages, seen from the operator’s screen:

A detailed image of disassembled washing machine parts is shown, along with a manual book and a 3D model for reference. The structured workflow ensures precise assembly in a manufacturing setting.

How to Add a Visual Page to an Instruction Step

In Azumuta, a single work instruction step can contain multiple visual pages to deliver extra information to your operators. Here’s how to add a page to an instruction step.

  1. Navigate to the targeted work instruction step where you would like to add a page.
  2. Click on “Open”.
  3. Click on the “Visuals” tab.
  4. Click on “Add page”.
  5. Select one of the available page formats.

Note: Adding a visual page to a work instruction step is different from adding an attachment to a work instruction.
