In the InField app, it is possible to add comments to photos and videos when uploading them, but it is not possible to specify the file name.
The file names appear to be (probably) inherited from the default names assigned by devices such as iPhones or Android phones. In most cases, even when checking the file name later, it is difficult to tell what the file actually contains.
For this reason, I believe that having a feature that allows users to freely change the file name at the time of upload would be very useful for utilizing the information later.

Hi ​@Shun Takase, when and where does this happen? e.g. Is this outside or inside InField UI.

Hi , ​@Marius Biermann 
Thank you for your reply.

In this case, the situation is that users want to review the files outside of the InField UI after an inspection has been completed.
By “outside of InField UI,” I mean the main CDF search screen as well as custom applications that are commonly used by customer companies in Japan.

Files uploaded from InField are linked to assets. However, when reviewing those asset-linked files later, if they are all named something like “image.jpg,” it is difficult to understand at a glance what each image represents.
Of course, the description may explain the content, but having to open each file one by one to check the description can be time-consuming.

This is still at the idea stage, but for example, during inspections, users may take photos of equipment to capture its condition, and later use those images for analysis (such as evaluating equipment degradation). In such cases, having meaningful file names would reduce unnecessary preprocessing and make the data much easier to use.
