Editing Photopoints

Learn how to change a photopoint's label and tags, and turn its photos the right way up

You can change a photopoint's label and tags in the Covram Field App. In the Covram Dashboard you can change the tags on many photopoints at once, and turn photos the right way up. You cannot delete or replace an existing photo.

Covram Field App

To edit an existing photopoint using the Covram Field App follow the steps below:

  1. Open the Covram Field App on your device. A map should appear with a blue marker indicating your current location. If you can instead see a list of projects, tap on any project with an existing photopoint to enter the map view.
  2. Find the marker of an existing photopoint and tap on the marker. A popup will appear with the photopoint label.
Photopoint markers will appear in a much lighter shade of green when compared to site markers. The Covram Field App will use your current location to set the screen. You may need to zoom out for any markers to be visible. To zoom out pinch the screen with two fingers.
  1. Tap on the popup a second time to open the Photopoint Details screen. It contains the photopoint label, any tags associated with the photopoint, and all previous images from the photopoint.
  2. To edit the photopoint tap on the pencil icon next to the label. This will open the edit screen.
  3. Update the label and tags, then tap the Save button. To discard any changes tap the back arrow.
  4. Tap the back arrow to exit the Photopoint Details screen.

Covram Dashboard

  3. Tick the box beside each photopoint you want to change. You can also use Select by label to select many at once.
  4. Click Edit at the bottom of the page, then Tags.
  5. Choose the tags to add and the tags to remove. To add a tag that doesn't exist yet, type its name. Click Save. Other tags on the photopoints are left as they are.

Turn a photo the right way up

Some phones save a photo sideways. Open the photopoint and click the rotate button on the photo. Each click turns it a quarter turn, and the change is saved. You can also rotate a photo when you click it to view it full size.
