Field docs initial job setup

Rose Gulley Updated by Rose Gulley

This document goes over the initial settings within a job that a user in the field will go through to setup Field Docs.


Tip Icon Field ocs is part of the XactRestore Pro subscription tier. To upgrade, please speak with our Sales Department by calling 833-352-9228.


When a job is first created, it's recommended to fill out the standard Summary tab with the client’s information. This data is shown in reporting. For assistance with this, see our Project Summary document.


Once basic information is entered, an admin can navigate freely through the Field docs section while non-admins are required to enter information in a preset order.

Note: For this and related documents, screenshots for administrators will be taken from a web browser, but screenshots for non-administrators will be taken from XR mobile on an Android mobile device. iOS and iPadOS are similar, and employees can use a web browser as well, but the intended use case for non-administrators is to use a mobile device in the field.
Add images

Depending on what options have been set by an administrator before a user in the field using XR Mobile, there will be one or more prerequisites to complete before areas, equipment, and readings can be added.


In the example below, an image of the property is set as required.

  1. From within a job in XR Mobile, select Field docs.
  2. Select either Quick photo(s) or Add media.
    Note: Quick photo(s) opens the camera app to allow you to take an image live. Add media lets you select an existing photo on the device. In the example below, the quick photo option is used.
  3. Select the shutter icon to take an image.
    Note: A red bubble appears to indicate the number of images taken.
  4. Select the green checkmark icon to save and exit the camera once all images have been taken.
    Note: Images added in Field docs are not saved in the normal attachments section of XactRestore, but are exclusive to the Field Docs section.

Once images have been added, they will display next to the options to add images. The trashcan icon can be used to delete images.
