To display Job Photo's in your Quote, Invoice, Reports (using the Document Templates) there are two options.

Consider the following before you begin:

Job only photo/images (all job attachments)

If you want to show images in any document template (ie not concerned with any heading/segregation (pre & post photos)) then:

  •  you will enable 'Show job images' in your document template (see Option 1 section below)  

Go to Settings and click on the little orange gear icon ⚙️ in the upper right corner of any page.

Click the Settings button at the top of the dropdown menu.

On the Settings page, from the top horizontal menu, click Templates button and click the template you wish to edit. Scroll down and look for Job Images then check the box that says " Show job images"

Segregated Photos via Custom fields (option 2 below)

If you want to show images in a document template (like a report) that allows segregation (pre and post) then:

  • create the custom fields

  • Have the technician upload images to the relevant field (ie pre photo's to the pre-photo custom field etc) and 

  • enable 'show custom job images' in the document template

  • Select the custom fields to show in the report in the dropdown

You could use Quote only photo's with job type/status Quote to ensure you get the segregation of photos for this purpose.

Important:  

  • all photos will appear on a new page at the end of all templates (this cannot be changed)

  • if you exceed 5mb of images some images may not display in the PDF, please keep this in mind and ensure only important photo's are uploaded to a job

  • There is no limit to the number of document templates you can create, for example you could create a quote template (with images) and a quote template (without) and enable the setting and add custom field etc for images that is relevant

  • Job card still retains the ability to add a File / Image to a job (this has not changed)

    Open the job, scroll down and click 'Add file' under Attachments. Then upload a photo.
