Naming Photos in Attachments

Feature RequestEnhancementCRM

Overview:

The proposed feature aims to enhance the attachments functionality by allowing users to name the photos they save. This addition will provide users with more clarity and organization when managing their attachments.

Detailed Request:

Chris Coote highlighted the current limitation where users can drag or delete a photo in attachments but cannot assign a specific name to it. The ideal functionality would allow users to select a photo and be presented with a field to rename it. While the current system doesn't assign names to photos, even based on the date saved, the proposed feature seeks to offer this capability.

Implication & Need:

Being able to name photos, especially with meaningful identifiers like addresses or dates, can significantly improve the user experience. It provides better organization, easy retrieval, and a clearer understanding of the content, especially when dealing with a large number of attachments. Additionally, offering different views, such as a list view with filenames and dates or a tile view with thumbnail previews, can further enhance usability.

    A simple start would be for the Photos to be numbered. Just start at 01 and continue up with each photo taken. The system cleverly numbers/counts the defects so I don’t think this would be difficult to implement. And so handy when editing to - say (See Photo 3 )

    This would be great to be able to add captions to the photos

    Could you please describe the steps you'd expect to take when naming a photo? Additionally, any specific configuration options or functionalities you'd find beneficial would be great to know.

    Your feedback will help shape how we approach this potential feature.

    Looking forward to your insights.

      HI Keith

      The steps I would take would be to select a photo & have a field come up to rename although the current system does not name them even with a date saved for example. For example I have use simPRO previously and the photos are dragged & will save with their file name, you can also have 2 views either as just the filename & date is listed or tiles showing the small version of the photo, the same as what you can see in Formatize. Hope this helps

      Kind Regards
