Photos on a job
/app/jobsTaking before-and-after photos, what they're good for, and where they're stored.
Any job can carry photos. A job can have several — the before, the after, and the one of the thing that broke.
Adding one
- 1Open the job on your phone.
- 2Tap to add a photo. It uses the camera directly, so there's no going to the photo roll and back.
- 3Add a caption if it needs one. 'Root cause' and 'after' are enough.
What they're actually for
- Settling the question of whether something got done, without driving out to look.
- Warranty and insurance claims, where a dated photo attached to a work record is worth a great deal more than one in somebody's camera roll.
- Showing a green committee what a job involved, which tends to end the conversation faster than describing it.
- Training. Six photos of a correct bunker edge is a better standard than a paragraph.
A photo taken on the back nine with no bars is kept on the phone and uploaded when the signal comes back. Nobody has to remember to do anything.
Questions
Where are the photos stored?
In your course's own storage, reachable only by people signed in to your course. They aren't public, and a link to one won't work for anybody else.
Can I get them all out?
Yes — they're included when you export your course data, and you can also file them automatically into your club's Google Drive.
Is there a size limit?
Photos are resized on the way in, so a modern phone camera is fine and you won't burn through anything.
