Images and Image Preview Popup
How images work on jobs, including upload limits, previewing larger images, and removing old images from the job record.
Images are where most teams keep the visual context that is hard to explain in a short note. They are useful for access points, awkward areas, before-and-after references, or anything the next visit needs to see quickly.
Adding Images in the Job Popup
- Upload area: You can add images while creating a job or while editing one later.
- Max files: Work Planner allows up to 5 images on the upload control at once.
- File size: Each image can be up to 10MB.
- Automatic optimisation: Work Planner optimises the uploaded images for you, so you do not need to resize them before uploading unless they are unusually large.
When to Add an Image
- Access instructions: Gates, side paths, lockboxes, parking spots, and hard-to-find entrances are all good reasons.
- Work reference: Use images when the team needs to recognise the exact area, surface, or feature before they arrive.
- Condition records: Helpful when you want a visual record of how something looked at the start.
- When to leave it alone: If the image does not help someone identify the site or carry out the work, it usually adds clutter rather than value.
Existing Images on an Edited Job
- Thumbnails: Once a job already has saved images, the popup shows them as thumbnails at the top of the Images section.
- Preview: Click an image to open the image preview popup and see it larger.
- Delete: Use the delete button on the image thumbnail when an image is outdated, duplicated, or wrong. Deleting is permanent.
Image Preview Popup
The image preview popup is only there to help you inspect the image properly. It does not change the job on its own. You can open it from the job popup or from the Job detail view when you need a larger version of the saved image.
What Happens After Save
- Images stay with the job: When the job is reopened later, the saved images are still attached to that record.
- Job detail view: The same images appear in the image section on the detail screen, where office staff can review them without opening edit mode.
- Operational context: The images become part of the job history, so anyone reviewing the record later can understand the site faster.
