STANDARDS & BEST PRACTICES

Subject Matter Champions

  • Miranda Hill
  • Jared Cox

Tool Settings

  • Project Photo Subscribers: Add project team if they wish to be notified when new photos are uploaded if desired. NOT a requirement.
    • When new albums are created, add them: To the beginning of the list
    • Make photos uploaded to the photos tool private by default: Unchecked (IMPORTANT! UNLESS under special circumstances where photos need to be shared with an owner. If so, this should be discussed the Procore Administrator first.)
    • Inbound Email Options: Allow anyone to send inbound emails to the Photos tool
    • 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.
