Add/Edit Project Fields
Find descriptions of the Add/Edit Project fields.
- Project Name
- (Required) Enter a name for the project.
- Project Reference
- Enter reference information for the project, such as a project number, if needed.
- Client Project Reference
- Enter the client's reference information for the project, such as the client's project number, if needed.
- Project Type
- Select a type from the drop-down list. Note that you can add project types.
- Project Owner
- (Required) Select the business unit that is managing the project. This is usually the main contractor for the project.
- Organization Type
- (Required) Select the organization type that applies to the project owner.
- Photo Storage
- Select the Upload original size photo for full resolution button for higher quality images. You can annotate the image at the point of capture. Once it is uploaded, it will sync a reduced-sized image back to your device in order to prevent large photo files taking up too much space on your device. Best for images on web, bulk reports, and form downloads. However, once the image has been uploaded, if you have configured the project so that a connection is required for annotation, you will need a connection to annotate that specific photo. If you select the All user to downsize high resolution photos checkbox, an annotation will replace the high resolution image with one with lower resolution. Note: If you select the checkbox to allow users to annotate the image after the initial sync, the high resolution images will be permanently downsized when an annotation is made, and there is no way to recover the image with the higher resolution.
Select the Upload compressed photos for faster sync button if you prefer a faster sync time to a higher resolution. This setting has no restrictions on annotations.
- Start Date
- Type or select the drop-down arrow to select a date for the start of the project. This field defaults to the current date.
