Controlling photos using the Photo Appendix tab on Dashpivot Web allows you to define how photo fields are laid out when forms are exported as PDF files. This setting helps manage PDF length and layout by determining how many photos appear on each page in the exported document.

Step-by-Step Instructions
Create a new template or edit an existing one.
Click the Photo Appendix tab.
Select the number of photos you want to include per page at the back of the PDF downloads using the dropdown. The default setting will be 1 photo, with alternate options for 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10.
See the preview panel update with your selection.
Click Save in the template editor for the settings to take effect.
Note: this setting affects all forms regardless of the template version they were created with.
Photo layout options in PDF downloads
When a form is downloaded as a PDF and it contains photos, those photos appear in the body of the form as thumbnails, which can be quite small. However, you have the option to include those photos at the end of the PDF in one of the following arrangements:
None
1 photo per page (includes meta data such as date stamp, GPS location, etc)
2 photos per page
4 photos per page
6 photos per page
8 photos per page
10 photos per page
The default setting is 1 photo per page.
This includes: the date and time of the photo, a map of the location where the photo was taken, any tags applied, and any description and comments added. This option is best if you wish to display all the information relating to each photo.
