Adding project images and photos in Acuite is very straightforward.

Add images

  1. Select your project

  2. Click Image Gallery

  3. Click + Add Images

  4. Upload your images in two easy ways:

    1. Click "Select files" to browse and choose images from your device

    2. Or simply drag and drop your images directly into the highlighted area

  5. Once finished, click Upload

Note: In the image selection pop-up, you can assign an image category, which functions as a virtual folder or tag. This makes it easier to filter and retrieve your images quickly. See below for instructions on creating categories.

View an image

  1. Select your project

  2. Click Image Gallery

  3. Use the category filter to refine your images

  4. Click on an image to display it in full screen


Delete an image

  1. Select your project

  2. Click Image Gallery

  3. Use the category filter to refine your images

  4. Mouse over an image and click the Bin button to delete

Create an image category

When adding images to the Image Gallery, you can organize them into category folders. The default categories are General Image, Health and Safety, and Defects:

  • Images saved in the General Image category will appear on the project dashboard

  • Images uploaded through the HSE incident form are automatically stored in the Health and Safety category

  • Images related to defects are saved in the Defects category.

  1. Select your project

  2. Click Image Gallery

  3. Click + Add Category

  4. Enter a Category Name

  5. Tick the 'Make new category available to all projects' if needed

  6. Once finished, click Ok

IMPORTANT:

  • The maximum file size for uploads is 10MB.

  • There is no limit to the number of photos you can upload.

  • The date shown on the photo reflects when it was uploaded in Acuite, not when it was taken. If you want to record the date the photo was taken, you can include it in the description. Alternatively, organizing progress photos in folders with date names (e.g., Building A - LVL 1 - Sept 2024) can be helpful.

  • These images can also be included in the Overview Report. You can add one to the cover page and insert a page of images, such as progress photos, at the end of the report.
