User rights
Users with 'View and upload' permissions can edit name and location data. Only project/Field administrators can delete individual photos or photo albums.
Tips and tricks
Photo albums need to have a location set before they can be saved.
By default, a new photo album is named after the date and time of creation, and the room property if available.
We recommend creating new photo albums if you take photos on different dates. This way the date and time are automatically added to the name of the photo album.
