Physical work evidence

The Service Technician records two kinds of physical observation. A rack position belongs to an asset; a cable connection belongs to an incident. The links tell the next operator why the entry matters. The technician reads the physical labels and measurements before submitting, and an invalid entry returns a reason to correct it.
