How to add Notes and Photos to a job?

Adding notes, files and photos to your jobs couldn't be easier using the GeoOp mobile app. A file or note can be added either as a general record on jobs, or attached to a particular Charge item (labour, material or payment).

To add a note to a job, you have 2 options:

  1. From the Overview tab, click on the Add Note button

  2. From any tab on the job, click + > Note

You will be asked to select the type of note you'd like to create from one of these categories:

  • Photos: directly taken from your device's camera or uploaded from your device's gallery

  • File: allow you to type a note and attach any type of document to it.

  • Signature: allow you to collect a digital signature that you can capture on your device's screen

  • Barcode: allow you to scan a barcode with your phone and store the barcode number and photo to the job.

Once your note is ready, press save for the note to be added to the job.

Quick photo upload to a job

To make you save even more time managing your jobs, we added a quick way for you to add multiple photos to a job.

Simply click on the job card, either from the Schedule or Jobs tab, and click + > Upload photo. You will be prompted to chose between your Photo Gallery or Camera. Simply select or take all the photos you need, confirm and they will all be added as a note. You will need to enter a description of your note that will automatically apply to all your photos. If you need, you can also update the description of each individual photo by simply editing them separately.

File sizes & types allowed for upload

When adding via any platform, the maximum file size allowed is 8mb

Major file types that are allowed for upload are: 3GP, CSV, DOC, DOCX, GIF, JPEG, JPG, M4A, MOV, MP3, MP4, MPG, ODP, ODS, ODT, PDF, PNG, PPT, RTF, TAR, TXT, WAV, WMA, XLS, XLSX, XPS, ZIP

Can anyone add notes and photos to jobs?

To access that feature your GeoOp Administrator needs to grant you the permission "Create, edit and delete Notes & Files within Jobs".

Can each photo/file have its own description?

Yes, when creating a note with multiple attachments from the GeoOp mobile app you are asked to create a "master" description for that note that will be displayed on the list of notes (Notes tab).

However, you can also add a separate description/label on each individual if required.

  1. Upload all the photos/files you need to the note

  2. Click on the arrow pointing right next to the "Attach files" header to access the screen allowing you to edit each individual image

  3. Click on the pencil icon of the photo/file you'd like to update

  4. Enter a description in the Description field below the image/file preview

  5. Once done, click Done

  6. Go back to the initial screen and don't forget to press Save

How to download attachments or share externally?

To download note's attachments or save attachments to your device, you can use the Share option:

  • To download or share all attachments saved to a note, click on ... > Share next to the corresponding note from the Notes tab

  • To download or share one specific attachment saved to a note, click on the file to preview it and then click on the Share icon in header

Tips to download files to your device

  • On iOS devices, select the Save Image or Save to Files option from the list of sharing options

  • On Android, select your photo gallery app (such as Google Photos) from the list of sharing options

  • On Android, select your file browsing app (such as Files by Google) from the list of sharing options
