Photos From Other Tools: These should all be checked to import photos from other tools (Drawings, Daily Logs, etc.) to a corresponding album.
Brinkmann Standards
All project photos are to be taken within the Procore Application.
Photo Tool Albums - This will automatically sort by month. You can change the settings to view all photos by week/day/month as preferred.
ALL photos being added need to have a description. Note that those added to Daily Logs could used in potential future issues, so the more clarification, the better.
When it comes to photos for Daily Logs, it is best done through the iOS device for quick and easy attachment through the Daily Log.
Pin photos to the floor plan for MEP Rough-In Quality Control.
