PhotoReport PhotoReport Documentation

In the field with iPhone, at the office on the web

This is the most common scenario: a professional working alone (architect, site manager, surveyor) using PhotoReport to document site visits.

On site

Section titled “On site”
  1. Create a project on iPhone before leaving, or directly on site.
  2. Import a plan: from a PDF received by email, or by photographing a plan posted on site.
  3. Switch to Visit mode: walk the site, tap the plan where you see something to document, take photos and dictate audio comments.
  4. No internet needed, everything works offline. Data syncs automatically when the connection returns.

At the office

Section titled “At the office”
  1. Open the web dashboard on a computer to review observations at your desk.
  2. Browse the plans in the web viewer, check photos, listen to audio comments.
  3. Export the report as PDF and send it by email, or share it online via a password-protected link. This is typically the step you do at the office, from the web dashboard, but it is possible from any of the three clients.

What this gives you

Section titled “What this gives you”
  • Speed on site: the app is designed for fast capture: one tap on the plan, one photo, one audio comment. No forms to fill.
  • Comfort at the office: the web dashboard on a large screen is more comfortable for reviewing and sharing.
  • Traceability: every observation is timestamped, geolocated (if enabled) and attached to a plan. The final report is professional and complete.
