Procore Hot Tip - App Photos

Mobile App Photos

The Procore photos tool in the mobile app has many great uses on site.

It is good to take as many photos as possible when you are on site – this helps to show progress, and to ensure and record the quality of the work. It also helps to create a visual timeline of the works.

There is a Photos tool in the online version of Procore, but you can only view, download, and comment on photos from there. The uses described here can only be done in the mobile app.

General

To take photos you can either; 

• Tap the + symbol in the Photos tile, then tap either Camera (to take a new photo) or Photos from Device (to select photos from your gallery)

• Tap on the Camera symbol at the bottom of the screen

If you are taking a new photo and tap the Camera options, you will be taken to your camera.

Tap the dropdown at the top to select which Album this photos is saved to.

If you do not select one, it will be automatically saved to the timeline, and you can copy it to an Album from there at a later date if needed.
