Uploading collected photos

In Orbitas Mobile (Version 1.0.21 and Later)

There is a new photo upload setting. This is found by going to the standard Orbitas settings (globe with sprocket icon) and then clicking on General Settings.

On versions Previous to 1.0.21, Photo Sync was set to "automatically" upload photos any time Orbitas Mobile was open. For normal operations, this function worked fine. 

However, In instances where numerous photos are being taken per location (custom unit form) or the internet connection is poor in the field. The Automatic Photo Sync feature could fail. 

Therefore, it is now "OFF" by default. Users wishing to take advantage of the Auto sync feature, can simply turn this "ON" before collecting a photo.

Auto-Sync upload feature is recommended for:

-Limited amount of photos

-Areas with great internet connectivity ( in the field )

-Small jobs or light workload

Manual upload feature is recommended for:

-Large amount of photos

-Areas of poor or no internet connectivity ( in the field )

-Photo inventory jobs or other large scale jobs

By default Automatic Photo Sync is turned on. This will allow Orbitas on iOS to automatically upload all photos associated with the current job that is being uploaded.
