If you and your team take a lot of photos as part of your operations, Dashpivot's customisable photo tagging options will help you keep everything organised.
Photo tags are typically used to categorise photos by:
Work activity/asset (eg. structures, earthworks, assembly)
Location (eg. zone 1, building C, level 8)
Type (eg. delay, defect, milestone)
Function (safety, quality, environment)
Whether you take hundreds of photos, or hundreds of thousands of photos, it pays to be able to find information quickly, and photo tagging will help you do this.
Types of Photo Tags:
Project Photo Tags - appear in every team on a project (these can only be setup and edited by a project controllers and organisation controllers)
Team Photo Tags - appear in that specific team (these can only be setup and edited by team controllers, project controllers and organisation controllers)

Common Mistakes:
Don't create too many tags! Its easy to go overboard, but if you have too many to choose from your team is less likely to find and use the correct tag. Try to keep it simple - less than 30 total is a good number.
Don't make your tags too specific. The tags should be general categories of photos (like names of photo albums).
E.g if you plan on taking photos of several retaining walls, it's better to create a tag for 'retaining wall' rather than tags for each wall 'retaining wall 1', 'retaining wall 2' etc. You can always add more detail in the photo description (which is also searchable), and this is where you could write 'retaining wall 1'
