Our new Photo Reporting capabilities allow the worker to capture and send photos of any single detail, quality issue or event on the shop floor. Take a photo with your scanner to create a Photo Report, then send it directly to INSIGHT webportal for further review.

You can create Photo Report without ever touching the Android device screen, and you can also add a custom description when necessary. Every Photo Report sent to INSIGHT contains its date and time stamps, as well as the last barcode scanned before taking photos, giving the report more context.

Once your devices are connected to INSIGHT, open the INSIGHT Mobile app and click the Photo icon in the app menu. You will see the Scanner Double Trigger setting enabled by default, since a double-click is needed to trigger the action (see Image 1). If any of the prerequisites listed above are not met, the general screen will be shown (see Image 2).

As soon as you activate the scanner trigger with a double-click action, a Photo session screen will appear (Image 3). Your scanner will activate the laser and its lights will flash in different colors signifying it is ready to take photos. Point the scanner's laser beam to the item or area of interest, then single-click the trigger again to capture an image.

Take multiple photos by triggering the scanner with consecutive single-clicks to include those photos in a single report (Image 4). If there are no triggers for more than 3 seconds, the session will finish and a countdown of 3 seconds will start, before the app automatically sends the report to INSIGHT. If you want to check the report and/or add any notes before sending it, simply tap the screen of your Android device to stop the countdown and add any descriptions. Note that the description field is limited to 240 characters.

If you want to remove any of the photos from the report, click the icon in the right-hand corner of the image. In case you want to add more photos, you can continue the session by clicking the icon. Once your report is ready, click SEND to manually submit it or CANCEL to abort the process and start over.

The resolution and quality settings are currently hard-coded within the INSIGHT Mobile app in order to achieve the best balance between quality and responsiveness when taking or transferring an image.

For devices using Android 10 and above, this feature requires a system setting (Appear on top) to be enabled. You need to find it in the INSIGHT Mobile app and manually switch on the toggle button, as shown below. Note that on some Android devices this setting is called “Display over other apps”.
