Photo examples available to users in app

Siobhan Alexandra Uy

In our app we are asking techs to take very specific site photos...it would be good if there was space to include an example photo in the information section. Can use a hyperlink online but usually our techs are going to be accessing the app offline so hyperlinks won't work.

Inline Reference Images

Thomas

Images which would be viewable inline like labels, which could be conditionally hidden, possibly taken from the reference sheet

To add onto this, it would be nice to have photos available both as a description and as an option for single-choice/multiple-choice fields. We are observing plants, so instead of listing "green with dark green veins", it would be helpful to either show "does the plant look like [photo]" [Y/N field] or do a "select what the plant looks like" [photo 1] [photo 2] etc.

Info IDA

This would be a great feature to include for several reasons. Firstly as Siobhan mentions the ability to include an example photo or diagram to describe how you would like data to be captured would be really helpful (e.g. an example of what the photopoint for that site should look like so that photos are consistently captured through time). Secondly, while english is the common language of our network, not all data collectors have strong english literacy skills - therefore photos/icons within an app would make Fulcrum much more user friendly and in-turn improve our data quality. This would need to be an offline feature to be useful for our network.

This would be really helpful for our apps. having a picture or diagram available in the field description will enable the user to understand what is required. And having an offline version works for us as we are always offline.

Set images as design option

Jorge Garcia

Regularly it is necessary to carry out inspections supported with images, therefore, it would be very useful if predefined images could be established as another design option in the forms.

Hi Jorge, could you tell us a little more about your process and use case? Would you like images attached to an individual field across an app, images attached to a single record, or a single image for many records such as using an image as your map view? Any further context you can provide we appreciate.

Regards

Jorge Garcia

Dale Wilson: Sure, Periodically I need to do inspections of heavy machinery, so I have created different sections and in each section it would be good for me to be able to attach an image to have it as a reference each time I perform an inspection.

Jorge Garcia

I just created a post requesting this.

Space for inserting Sample (reference) Pics in the app

Dinesh Chandraratne

If Sample Pic can be inserted as a reference in the created apps, makes the data collectors could better understand the exact survey requirement.

Description Field Images

Bobby Estep

Use Case #1
Allowing images into the description field will allow for data collectors to collect accurate data. Companies dread the day they must train a new employee. The resources required to train someone are costly. Not to mention the inevitable mistakes that a new employee will make. 
By allowing images in the description field, companies will be able to more quickly deploy data collectors to collect data that can be technical to a new employee. If the data collector does not know what a certain item looks like, or what to look for, but must take a picture, they can just reference the description field to see how how/what they should take a picture of. That way a data collector can be given Fulcrum and take off! Collecting clean, accurate, reliable data faster! 
Use Case #2
When filling out a form with a client/customer is involved will allow for easier selling/educating of technical things.  It would be nice to click on the description field to show the customer/client what we are referring to.
Possible Solutions:
1.	Allow for images to be inserted into the description field. 
2.	HTML capable – hosting of images can be done outside of Fulcrum
