Background

The Photos section allows you to upload photos associated with your daily log. This is an ideal place to collect progress photos of the jobsite for that day.

You can select and attach existing photos directly from the Procore Photos tool to the Daily Log too. This speeds up the daily reporting process for field teams and project managers by making all existing project photos readily accessible in one place.

Things to Consider

  • Required User Permissions:
    • 'Standard' or 'Admin' level permissions on the project's Daily Log tool.
      AND
      'Standard' or 'Admin' level permissions on the project's Photos tool.
  • Additional Information:
    • Only Public photos can be added to the Photos section of the Daily Log tool. Photos added to the Daily Log can be viewed by anyone with access to the Photos tool 
      • If the project's Photos tool is configured to have photos set to private by default, you will NOT be able to upload photos to the Photos section of the Daily Log.
        Important! In the project's Photos tool > Configure Settings page, clear the 'Make photos upload to the Photos tool private by default' checkbox for photos to be added to the Daily Log tool. See Configure Advanced Settings page for the Photos tool. This setting can be managed by any user with 'Admin' permissions to the project's Photos tool.
      • The photo album selected for the upload cannot be marked as Private.
