Adding Media

The options given:

1. Existing Photo: This option opens the photo library. The user will be asked to give the permission the first time it is used.
2. Files App: This option opens the files app, and the user may choose media from the file system.
3. Take Photo: This option opens the camera, which the user is given the chance to take a photo or video.

When exporting an audit as a PDF, videos will only share one frame.

5. Sketch: This option opens Audit Plus’ Sketch screen. We offer some more functionality than apple’s controls.
6. Scan Document: This opens the document scanner, which the user can scan one or more documents. When finished the documents will be stitched together as a PDF.

Existing Photo

The existing photo option will bring up a chooser for your photo library.

The asset screen supports drag and drop for you to place assets in faster.

Select the photo you wish to add to your question’s assets. After you add the photo, a document viewer will be immediately raised with your photo. In this viewer you have the option to markup the photo (see below) by tapping the draw button in the upper right toolbar.

If desired, the option to raise the document viewer after adding can be turned off in settings.

These markup controls are provided by Apple, and are a good fast way to jot notes on the asset. Later we will show a sketch component we created that we feel adds even more value than Apple’s control.

Files App

The Files app lets you select files from your file system. You may use the files app to navigate to find media in your chosen cloud network files (iCloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, etc..). You may also find files on connected servers or NAS (network assisted storage).

Take Photo

Select this option to take a photo or video.

Sketch

Audit Plus created its own sketch component. While Apple’s tools allow you to mark up a photo our sketch adds more features. It offers shape detection for lines, circles,, triangles and rectangles, so that you can draw them perfectly. It supports drag and drop of photos. You can add multiple photos to the canvas. There are options to change the background color or add a grid. We’ll explain the features below the screenshot.
