TOPIC: New Idea

Here is an idea for the picture section. 

When you create the report you add black (good) comments or red (repair or concerns) comments. When you then add your pics both dropdown boxes in the picture section, populate with the section info which is great. Heres the idea...How about also populating the caption box with any of the red (concerns) that you created in the report? 

For example: the cracked bath sink picture comes up, you select dropdown section              " bathroom"    then dropdown item  "sinks"  , as soon as you select    "sinks",    all your red comments pop up (if any) like cracked, leaks, replace sink, whatever comments you wrote in the report... You can then select the comment you want for your caption of that pic. 

This would save us from having to retype a caption for each picture. Sometimes you can use the section heading as the caption as the software already has this capability. But most of the time I am typing the detail of the pic for the caption.  Since I already did this in the report if the concern/s or comment/s could just pop up, we could just select the caption and not have to retype it for each pic. 

I looked at 7 other HIP reports and 90% of you do the same thing I do, detail caption each pic. This would save alot of time per report and I am all about saving time...What do you think?

I like the idea, what do the rest of you guys think? Do you use the same caption for a photo as a comment you already made in the section?

I think that this is a great idea!!  I would use it

Hey guys I do that already , but in reverse.
I type the caption and then copy the caption to the comments.
Been doing that all along. ;D

I must be missing something. I load all the pictures first. Then I place the red comments in order with the pictures.

Each comment is marked with a bullet and new line, this makes the comments and pictures work together, and I only place the comment once.  (no typing)  Now, having said that it would be nice if there was an option that would number the pictures placed under each section....ie...1,2,3,4, and have the comments available to have the each new comment labeled 1,2,3,4,  this would eliminate having to do what you guys are doing twice.

Does that make since?

Wohoo, I love discussion of features Ben, the guys are saying that they list comments as captions AND within the comments section. Im not sure this is necessary but its always an option.

Im not 100% sure what you're saying. Are you just wanting a way to number comments like "see photo 1"?
