Article summary

The Photo screen is used to attach new photos to a site audit, or for existing site audit photos, to change the image size or add notes. 

Note:
When changing the size of photos, they can only be reduced. They cannot be enlarged once saved at a smaller size.

The screen is accessed by clicking on an existing photo and choosing the Modify option from the drop-down menu, or by clicking Add Image from the drop-down at the top of each Type of the Site Audit screen.

The following table describes the available screen elements:

Screen Element

Description

Category

Displays the name of the category with which the photo is associated and allows you to change the category by selecting from a drop-down list of valid categories for the selected site audit type.  If the user changes the value of this field, the list of notes at the bottom will be refreshed to reflect the selected category.  

Size

Allows you to choose the image size at which the image should be saved as explained in the article, Image Attachment Size. Options are small, medium, large, and actual size.

Photo

If a photo has been selected, it is displayed here.  

Browse 

If a photo has been selected, it is displayed here.                                  

Photos/Take Photo
Clicking or tapping this field allows you to take a photo (if on a mobile device) or to select a photo to attach. Once the photo has been selected, it will be displayed in this space. When the auditor clicks or taps this area, a device-specific selection screen is displayed for choosing the photo or image.

Tags

Predefined category tags are established when the site audit category is defined. You can enable or disable tags to specify whether they apply to the current site audit. You can also launch the Add icon to the right of Tags to launch the Category Types screen to add additional custom tags.

Save

Clicking this icon saves the photo and returns you to the Site Audit screen. The photo will be available on the Site Audit screen and the pin-point icon will be added to show the map with the location of the photo. 

Important Note:

There is a problem with Appleā€™s iOS 11 that prevents the camera from operating properly if you run Aspire as a desktop app (the recommended configuration as described in the article, Crew Mobile Getting Started) and then choose the Take Photo or Video option from the Choose a File button described above.  Under these conditions, the camera comes up, but the screen is black and will not reflect the image through the lens, so you cannot take photos. Until Apple fixes this problem in iOS, the possible workarounds are as follows:

  1. Avoid upgrading to iOS 11.
  2. Run Aspire directly in the Safari browser in which case the camera will operate properly from Aspire.
  3. Take photos from the iOS camera app, and then use the Photo Library option to load them into Aspire.
