report photo size

It would be great to be able to increase the size of the photos in the report (or better yet, have them automatically be sized correctly when the report is published) The photos are what really show the information. It appears that currently the photos are sized in order to fit 4 photos accross the page. However if there is only 1 photo it remains the same size? And a portrait photo is much smaller. As they currently are it is difficult to gain any information from the photos. Reports rarely get printed so there is not added cost to increasing the size and quality of the photos. The report is nothing more than photos and descriptions of the photos and some extra information i.e. appliance model and serial numbers (which can also be captured with photos). The photos should be the main feature with nice looking arrows and annotation and descriptions clearly attached to the correct photos. What is the benefit of having large white spaces on the report? See attached images. Which images are useful? The ones oriented incorrectly, poorly sized, with no annotation or description? Please fix immediately

Increase Report Writer Photo Size

The photos on the report writer are very small and hard to see. However, it doesn’t look like I can make the photos larger. Can you please add a feature that allows us to make the photos a larger size on our reports so clients can see the picture better?
Ideally, it would be nice to be able to increase the size of the photo on the report writer template that way whatever size we choose for the photo, will remain the same for all future reports. Thank you

Great to hear your perspective, Mwilliams! I have a few more questions for you:
- What is the current size of the photos in the report writer, and what size would you prefer?
- Would you like the option to set a default photo size for all reports, or adjust it individually for each report?
- Are there any specific types of reports or templates where larger photos are particularly important?

ISN Product Management,
- I'm not sure what the current size of the photos in the report writer are. I don't see any display settings that let's me see this. I just know that the photos show up on the final report as smaller size photos. It would be helpful to have the option to increase their size so clients can view better. When I used Palmtech in the past, I think I had the option to increase photo size to around 3-3.75 photo size.
- Both options ideally. I would like an option to set a default photo size for all reports in my report writer template, and I should be able to adjust the size for photos for individual reports. However, having the option to set photo size as the default option for all reports in the most important and needed feature.
- All of the reports/templates should have the option to increase/decrease the photo size. Again, if I cannot change photo size in the app or bare minimum, I should be able to increase the size in the online report writer template settings version.

Hi, nathanielwells, thanks for this post! I have logged this request with our engineering teams. I can see the value of inspectors being able to decide the size of their images.

Janaya Fix - Product Management: If you review these screengrabs you can see that the arrows look out of the ordinary without being distracting and really help you focus on the issue. You can also see that the descriptions are clearly referring to the photos that they are associated with especially since they are framed together. There might be several photos that the one description is referencing and it is obvious. It is also just more visually appealing. Do you notice how there is shodowing around the framing that gives the slight illusion of being more than 2 dimensional? The quality of the photos is also very crisp and clear. All inspectors are using high quality cameras/phones/tablets/drones to take photos so it makes sense to not degrade the photos. If you look at the first photo in the ISN example that is oriented incorrectly, you notice that the photo quality itself is really poor, it is grainy even though it is so small. The first photo shows how a single photo showed up for me before. It is definitely larger. It doesn't fill the page and I don't think it has to necessarily but there might be times when you would want that. Or maybe to adjust where the photo is, maybe be able to center it or locate it on the right side if that was more aesthetically pleasing. The main thing is that the final report should look appealing and clear without the inspector needing to really adjust anything.
