Select the option most applicable to your observations. If you select a tab which comes up red you will be prompted with three options; note, image and action. You don't have to select any of these however it would be useful to the end user if you provide further feedback in either written or picture format. If you select an amber or green tab and wish to provide further feedback you can just click the paperclip on the upper right hand corner. This will then prompt you with the same three options as previously described.
