Sample of Construct PM Photo Report

Photo Reports are used to assemble and display a selection of project photos in a PDF file. Each of the photos is laid out in an organized fashion and contains relevant details such as document ID, title, and location. This report is a useful way to monitor work progress by reviewing photo documentation over the course of a project. When reviewing the report, clicking on any of the photos will automatically launch Construct PM and open the selected record.

Creating Photo Reports on Web Deployment

Photo Reports can be created from a drawing sheet or a document. Both of these options are described in more detail below.

Create Photo Report From Drawings

Navigate to Drawings and open a drawing sheet. If the drawing sheet contains photo annotations, they will appear on the drawing as a Photo icon (Construct PMPhoto icon.). The drawing sheet shown above contains several photo annotations and each annotation is tied to a photo.

NOTE: Photo annotations are added to a drawing using the Photo icon on the Annotation toolbar.

In the Photo Report pop-up window, a preview of all of the photos within the drawing sheet will be conveniently displayed. From the list of preview photos, select which individual photos to be included, or leave all of them deselected to include all them in the report. By default, if no individual photos are selected, all of them will be included in the report.
