How to submit and manage photo-rich inspection reports efficiently from smartphones — naming conventions, cloud storage, and search tips.
Photo-based reporting commonly fails due to: (1) photos unlinked from their context, (2) forgotten submissions after capture, (3) upload failures from heavy data, and (4) lost searchability. Form design and workflow rules solve all four.
Always place photo fields in the same section as their context fields (project, location, status). ReportMint allows descriptive labels like 'Damage photo' or 'Site overview' on each attachment field. Collected data shows as thumbnails in the dashboard for easy visual review.
Quick tips
Lock in the sequence: open form → shoot → attach → submit. Bulk-shooting first and attaching at the office is a recipe for errors. For pairing with QR distribution, see complete guide to distributing forms via QR code.

Photos are stored on Vercel Blob with encryption at rest. They are referenced through the response data in the admin dashboard and PDF exports, and they are not listed on the public form itself.
When you export responses as PDF, photos are embedded in the output. Individual download is available from the response detail view.
