Jobs and photos
Editing photos: categories, captions, move, share
Tag photos by category, write captions, move them between jobs, share and delete.
Updated
Each photo carries a small amount of information that makes reports and posts useful later. All of it can be edited on the phone or in the web dashboard.
Category
Every photo has one category:
- Progress — day-to-day work.
- Before and After — the pair that makes a great marketing post.
- Issue — something to flag: damage, a code problem, a change order.
- Delivery — materials on site.
- Other — everything else.
Categories make it easy to find the right photos later, especially Before and After pairs for the Marketing center.
Caption
Captions are up to 500 characters. They appear under the photo in PDF reports, in share galleries and as the default text when you post. Write for the reader: "Rough plumbing complete, inspection Friday" beats "pipes".
Move a photo
Filed to the wrong job? Open the photo and choose Move, then pick the destination. To move many at once, use Select in the job or in Unfiled, choose the photos, then Move.
Share a photo
Share opens your phone's share sheet so you can text or email a single photo. For a whole job, use a share link from the web dashboard instead.
Delete a photo
Only admins can delete photos:
| Role | Can delete |
|---|---|
| Admin | Any photo, anywhere. |
| Crew | No photos, not even their own or ones in Unfiled. Crew can move a photo to Unfiled or to another job instead. |
Multi-select
Tap Select in any photo grid to pick several photos. You can then move or share them together; admins can also delete them. Multi-select is also how you clear a backlog in the Unfiled inbox.
