Images Groups
The images in task list support grouping, and a group contains up to 4 images.
Influence of Image Groups on Applying Image Settings to All
Cost calculation parameters and leak level can be applied to all acoustic images. For application of temperature measurement parameters, see Apply Measurement Tools to All Images in Task List.
Influence to apply image settings to all in task list:
-
Selecting one radiometric image, image settings will be applied to the following images:
-
All ungrouped radiometric images in the task list.
-
Groups in the task list where the first image is a radiometric image — parameters are synchronized only to the first image.
-
-
Selecting one acoustic image, image settings will be applied to the following images:
-
All ungrouped acoustic images in the task list.
-
Groups in the task list where the first image is an acoustic image — parameters are synchronized only to the first image.
-
-
Selecting one group, image settings will be applied to the following images:
-
All ungrouped images in the task list of the same type (radiometric or acoustic) as the group's first image.
-
Images in other groups within the task list that are in the same position and of the same type (radiometric or acoustic).
-
Assume the task list contains:
-
Ungrouped images: Radiometric image A, Acoustic image B
-
Group 1: First image — Radiometric image C, Second image — Acoustic image D, Third image — Acoustic image E
-
Group 2: First image — Acoustic image F, Second image — Acoustic image G
Then:
-
Selecting Radiometric image A: Image settings will be applied to all ungrouped radiometric images and the first image of Group 1 (Radiometric image C).
-
Selecting Acoustic image B: Image settings will be applied to all ungrouped acoustic images and the first image of Group 2 (Acoustic image F).
-
Selecting Group 1: Parameters will be applied to Radiometric image A and Acoustic image G.
Influence of Image Groups on Generating Reports
When generating a report, if the report template contains a page with the same thermal image number as in a group, you can quickly import images by group.
When there are image groups in task list, and user-defined report template are used. Based on the file grouping in the task list, the client automatically matches the images groups to the page templates with corresponding number of images.
If the number of images in a group does not correspond to the page template in the report template, the client selects the page template according to the principle of displaying pictures in the group as many as possible. For example, if there is a 3-image group in task list, and there are only 4-image and 2-image page templates in the report, the client will choose the 4-image page template for the group.
Auto Grouping
The task list offers the auto grouping function. All images in the task list are grouped following the set method from top down.
-
Select Batch on top of the task list, selectAuto Grouping, and set a grouping method and save to proceed.
-
Select Batch on top of the task list, select Ungroup to ungroup all.

When both radiometric images and acoustic images are present in a group, radiometric images are placed before acoustic images by default.
-
Adjust the image order before auto grouping. Image order adjustment within a group is not allowed now.
Create/Ungroup an Image Group Manually
-
Select files you want to group in task list. Images or groups are allowed. Up to 4 images are allowed in one group. Hold the Shift key and left click to select continuously, and hold the Ctrl key and left click to select one by one.
-
Select Group from right-click menu. The number of images in the group is shown in the upper left corner of the group thumbnail.
-
View images in group. Select a group, and click Previous, Next in the lower right corner of the preview window.
-
Ungroup. Select a group, right click and select Ungroup.
When both radiometric images and acoustic images are present in a group, radiometric images are placed before acoustic images by default.
