TAM7 Photo Feature

TAM7 Photo Capture

TrackAbout's Photo Capture feature lets you take pictures using the camera on your mobile device and associate them to a record.

Photo Capture is available in Delivery and Flag for / Send to Maintenance actions, and can be incorporated into Generic actions.

Using the Photo Feature in Delivery Actions

In Delivery Actions, the Photo Feature lets you take a picture and attach it to the delivery record (along with a date, timestamp, and GPS coordinates) as visual proof a delivery was made, or why it couldn’t be.

1. In TrackAbout Mobile 7, go to Delivery and select or create an order as normal.

   

2. After you've selected an order and scanned the assets being delivered, click Next to automatically be prompted to add images to the delivery record.

   

3. You can also add an image to the delivery record at any time by opening the bottom-right menu and selecting Delivery Photo.

   

   

4. To add an image, tap the camera icon to open your camera app, take a picture, and select Use Photo to return to the Photos screen (tap Retake for a do-over).

   

   

   

   You can also use a photo you've already taken by opening the menu in the lower right corner and selecting Pick Existing Photo to access your camera roll. Click Next when you're done to continue with the delivery.
