## Quick Reference

- Open the job and click the Photos tab.
- Check each photo's tag and time.
- Click Upload to add photos taken another way.
- Click Active/Inactive to leave extra photos out of the report.
- Turn on Show inactive to see them again.

## Before You Start

- The job is assigned to you and its status is In Progress.
- The site photos are taken. Photos from the RAZE Mobile App arrive by themselves.

## Step 1: Open the Photos Tab

**Everything taken on the job.** Photos taken in the RAZE Mobile App arrive with their time, place, comments and tags. Each tile shows the photo's tag and when it was taken.

## Step 2: Add and Find Photos

**Upload.** Photos taken another way upload by drag and drop. Click Upload and drop the files in.

**Filter by tags and Sort.** Use Filter by tags to see one group, such as Stored Material, and Sort to change the order.

## Step 3: Mark Photos Active or Inactive

**Keep the report readable.** Mark photos active or inactive: inactive photos stay with the job and out of the report. Use Active/Inactive on the photos the report does not need.

**Show inactive.** Turn on Show inactive to bring the inactive photos back into view. Mark one active again and it returns to the report.

## Tips

**DO**
- Take more photos than the report needs, then mark the extras inactive.
- Tag photos to a line item or a custom tag so reviewers can sort them.
- On a final inspection, follow the Final template's order: exteriors first, then the interior.

**WATCH FOR**
- On the Final template the first four photos are the elevations, and the report carries at least 30 photos.
- An inactive photo does not print. Check Show inactive before you submit.

## Troubleshooting

**Q: A photo is missing from the report preview.**
A: Turn on Show inactive on the Photos tab. If the photo is inactive, mark it active.

**Q: Can I add photos from a camera or a drone?**
A: Yes. Click Upload and drag the files in.

**Q: Do I lose a photo when I mark it inactive?**
A: No. Inactive photos stay with the job and out of the report.
