Looking for a way to send photos and information in a way that tells a story and communicates your work? Photo reports allow you to take your project photos and share them in a clean, easy, and professional way. Creating a photo report is super easy — all you need is CompanyCam and a computer or mobile device.
Whether you’re compiling data for client presentations, documenting progress, managing insurance claims, resolving damage disputes, or more, this guide will walk you through the process of selecting photos, choosing a layout, and customizing your report with useful annotations.
Build a Report
First, open the Project you want to share photos from and select the Photos you want to share. To choose specific photos, click the circle in the top left corner of the photo.
Once you’ve begun selecting photos, a blue bar will appear at the top of your window. In that bar, there are three options: Actions, Reports, and Share.
Click Reports and select Create New Report from the dropdown. Next, choose a layout, then click Create Report.
Now that you’re in the Report, you’ll see places to begin putting in text. You’ll want to Title your report first, add Sections, Captions, or more detailed information or instructions to each photo you selected.
All changes automatically save as you make them, so you can edit and add without worrying about saving changes throughout.
Share a Report
From here, you have several options for what you can do with the report you just created: You can download it or share it as a link.
To download your report in a browser or app: Choose View Report and click Download PDF at the top of the screen.
To share your report as a link, choose Share Report. In a browser, you’ll see the link, as well as options to share directly via email, Facebook, or Twitter. Sharing as a link allows whoever you’ve shared the report with to view the photos and your notes in a browser without running the risk of them editing or messing with what you put in.
Photo reports do away with the hassle of shared Microsoft Word and Google Docs, the struggle to align text with images, and messy email threads. Reports are one of the best and easiest ways to share your project photos with anyone who needs them!
