Marking up job photos can help you give clear and precise instructions when describing work requirements, communicating issues or findings, or quoting jobs.
You can markup photos easily in the ServiceM8 iOS app, whether you're working with photos within the job card or taking them as part of a form requirement.
With the markup tool, you can:
- Draw freely on the photo;
- Add text to the photo;
- Add shapes, such as lines, arrows, circles, squares, and more.
To mark up a photo:
Note that any photos taken within ServiceM8 are stored in the job's Diary.
- Open the photo from the job Diary.
- Tap the Markup icon.
- The markup toolbar will appear on screen, which includes:
- Multiple pen types, with the ability to set a wide range of colours (tap once on a pen type to adjust its weight and transparency)
- An eraserÂ
- A lasso tool, enabling you to pick up and move other markups you've made
- A ruler, enabling you to draw straight lines, at certain degrees
- Undo & redo tools
You can also add text and shapes by tapping +, then Add Text or Add Shape.
- When you have completed your markups, tap Save.
The edited photo will save as a separate, marked up version in the job Diary, with the original photo still available.
