Create a report

This is what the project builds towards: turning plans, viewpoints and photos into a document you can hand over. The dashboard does all the work server-side, you only choose what goes in.

Generating a report

1. In the project, click Create a report.
2. Optionally choose filters and a photo quality.
3. Click Create report.
4. Follow the progress, then collect the result.

A report contains a PDF, an HTML version you can open in a browser, all the photos and the source plans, gathered in a ZIP archive.

Tip

Large projects take a few minutes. You can close the window: generation continues server-side, only the progress bar goes away.

Choosing what goes into the report

By default, the report covers the whole project. The Filters section lets you narrow it down by several criteria, which stack:

Filter	Typical use
Plans	Deliver only one building, one floor or one trade
Activity	Keep only viewpoints from one period, for a visit write-up
Creators	Isolate one contributor’s work
Media types	Keep only viewpoints with a photo, or conversely spot those with no media
Colours	If you use colour as a code, deliver a single category
General observations	Include or exclude what is not tied to any plan

A summary updates live and shows what will be kept, for example “12/37 viewpoints · 48/210 photos”. Clear all filters returns to the complete project.

Photo quality

Three levels, which determine the weight of the final file:

Level	Resolution	When to use it
Low	around 1280 px	Sending by email, a quick write-up
High	around 1920 px	The right compromise in most cases
Maximum	original size	When the photo is evidence and must stay usable when zoomed

Two destinations

Save the report

The ZIP archive is downloaded to your computer. It is then up to you to pass it on, by whatever channel you like.

Share a link

PhotoReport hosts the report and gives you a password-protected address. The recipient has nothing to install and needs no account.

1. Click Share online.
2. Set a password, or click Generate a password. Six characters minimum.
3. Choose the validity: 7, 30 or 90 days.
4. Click Create share link.
5. Copy the address and the password.

Caution

Note the password before closing the window. It is no longer shown there afterwards: you will only be able to replace it, from the Shared reports page.

Sharing online requires a Pro or Teams subscription. See Sharing reports.

The free plan limit

The free plan allows you to create 3 reports in total, by any method. A counter tells you where you stand, for example “2/3 reports created”.

Reports from the sample project count too. See Plans and pricing.
