Change photo default settings in Report Writer

Please allow us to set our own photo default settings in the Report Writer. I would like to be able to set the picture font color, font size, and font type to my own default settings. For example, the default font color is black but does not show up well on pictures. The default color should be white. If you can’t allow us to change settings, please at least change the default color to font color font.

Great News! The Image Editing tools now remember your last setting. You can set it however you like and it will remember your selections!

Janaya Fix what does it mean when this is marked as NEXT?

Hi Mwilliams, Next means we will be working on it in the near future. Now means we are actively working on the feature. The team is currently working on the saving the template annotation settings based on the user. This means that everyone can have the color they want and they don't have to set it every time. It remembers your last settings.

Janaya Fix do you know if the team has made this adjustment yet where everyone can have the color font they want when editing pictures and they don't have to set it every time?
Janaya Fix
Mwilliams: Hi! You beat me to it. Yes this work was just finished.

Janaya Fix, So I was testing out the photo editor and it does in fact save the font color but only for the same photo I’m editing. If I go to another photo in the same report to edit it, I still have to change the font color from black to white. My main request in addition to it remembering your font color selection was that your default font color for your picture editing also be white and not black. White font shows up much better on pictures so I don’t understand why you guys chose black as the default color. Can you change the default color to always be white?

Mwilliams: Hello, this should actually not be the way it works. It should save it from photo to photo. Can you tell me what device you are working on? Is it a computer or a phone? Trying to isolate where the issue is occurring since we have released this feature. Also, the actual default color is red, so I am curious where you see black. Can you possibly reach out to our support team?

Janaya Fix I’m working off my iPhone. The symbol font color is red (for arrows, circles,etc.) the text font color is black in my app. My request was to have the symbol color red by default always and the font color white by default always. Also, I forwarded this message to your support team as well.

Hiya Mwilliams, thanks for this post! I have a few more questions for you:
- Can you provide more details on how often you encounter situations where the default font color does not show up well on pictures?
- Are there any other default settings you would like to have control over in the Report Writer?
- Can you share any specific instances where the inability to change these settings has impacted your work?

ISN Product Management ,
- Anytime I take pictures (usually indoors) where there is limited lighting, the black color font is not a great choice and hard to see. White font shows up much better whether the picture is light or dark. Palmtech, your counterpart company has their default font color as white as well.
- Most of the other sections in the report writer already allow me to use default settings. Mainly need for pictures right now. It would be nice to choose a bright red color for my report color scheme under the “Inspection Report Settings”. Right now the closest colors to red are a dark cardinal color and dark orange color. My companies colors are red so would be nice to have a bright red color scheme. Especially since red is a common color.
- It slows down my report writing process having to change the font color or font type every time I label a picture.

Mwilliams - Thanks for the clarity. I will talk to the team about options.
