What users will see
When completing an inspection, users can select Add evidence on an evidence-enabled question.
They can:
- Take or upload a new photo.

- Add up to 10 photos to each question.
Photos uploaded directly to a question are automatically added to the shared Inspection Gallery.
The Evidence field and Inspection Gallery are available in through your web browser and the HammerTech Mobile app. Users must be online to access these features.
About the Inspection Gallery
The Inspection Gallery is available automatically and does not need to be enabled on individual checklists.
It allows inspection participants to upload photos once and attach them to checklist questions later.
For instructions on using the gallery, attaching evidence and understanding how photos appear in reports, see Add and manage photo evidence during an inspection.
