Installation & the field

How to capture install photos tied to a panel

Install photos are useful when they hang on the product record — the same ID as the drawing mark — not in a camera roll. Spectr’s install app includes photo capture so field and office share those images on the product.

Key facts

A WhatsApp album is not documentation.
Photos prove condition, sequence, and sometimes the revision you hung.
Tied photos help GD jobs when someone disputes what was built.
PMs should not be downloading 400 images named IMG_8841.

How shops handle this

Scan first, then shoot
The photo inherits the product. Do not sort later.
Capture the problem, not only the glory
Fit issues and damage earn their keep.
Keep a simple standard
One context, one detail, if that is your QC rule.
Review from the office
If nobody looks, crews will stop taking them.

Common questions

Does this replace a dedicated QA app?

It replaces the chat dump for product-linked photos. Some owners still want a third-party QA workflow — do not dual-enter the same picture.

Storage and phones filling up?

That is an IT hygiene issue. It is still better than a lost claim.
