Sending a Photo Report by Email

When to use

Sending by email is the most common way to deliver a photo report. Suitable for:
  • communicating with clients;
  • transferring reports between departments;
  • sending final documentation after work completion.

How to send

  1. Generate the photo report via the export function
  2. Download the file to your device
  3. Attach the document to the email
  4. Add a brief description (what was done, what to pay attention to)

Recommendations

  • use PDF for the final version of the report;
  • add a subject line indicating the site or project;
  • send multiple versions if necessary (e.g., a short and a full version).

Downloading and Manually Delivering the File

When this is necessary

This method is used if:
  • the report is delivered in person;
  • upload to an external system (CRM, ERP, cloud) is required;
  • the file needs to be stored in the corporate database.

Supported formats

Depending on the scenario, you can use:
  • PDF — for viewing and sending;
  • DOCX — for editing;
  • archives — when working with large volumes of data.

Team Collaboration and Internal Transfer

Use in workflows

Within a team, photo reports can be used as part of processes:
  • technical surveys;
  • construction supervision;
  • maintenance;
  • audits and inspections.
In this case, the report:
  • is shared among project participants;
  • is used as a data source;
  • is supplemented with new photos and comments.

Advantages

  • no need to manually forward files;
  • a single version of the document is maintained;
  • interaction between employees is accelerated.

Shooting Context Along with the Photo Report

In addition to the document itself, it is important to provide additional information:

  • link to the site;
  • structure of zones or rooms;
  • description of defects;
  • sequence of work performed.
This makes the photo report not just a set of images, but a fully functional work tool.

How to Choose a Method for Sending a Photo Report

The choice depends on the task:

  • for the client → PDF + email
  • for editing → DOCX
  • for the team → internal transfer within the service
  • for storage → upload to the system or archive
This approach allows you to adapt the report format to the specific usage scenario.
