How to Manage Defect Photos on Dashpivot

Capture and manage defect photos on Dashpivot — attach photos directly to defect reports, standardise documentation across projects, and give your team real-time visibility of defect status from any device.

Written by Tammy Slattery

Introduction

Dashpivot gives your team a fast, consistent way to capture and document defects on site — attaching photos directly to reports, centralising all records in one place, and enabling swift responses based on defect severity and impact.

This app simplifies the process of capturing, organising, and communicating defect-related information between on-site workers and management, ensuring swift responses and better prioritisation based on defect severity and impact.

How it works

Key Features

  • Capture and attach photos directly to defect reports for clear visual context

  • Use customisable templates to keep defect documentation consistent across your team

  • Store all defect reports in a central system, with easy access to historical data, priority sorting, and resolution tracking

  • Document and manage defects from anywhere using the Dashpivot mobile or tablet app

Best Practices

  1. Attach clear, well-lit photos to every defect report to reduce back-and-forth and aid faster resolution

  2. Turn on photo stamp preferences for a more professional output

  3. Use photo tags to define defect type, location, and severity so records can be easily filtered

  4. Create a master defect reporting template and apply it across all projects to keep data collection consistent
