In this article we will go over how to Add, replace and remove a photo in the m-Post app.
There are several areas in the m-Post app that you will have the opportunity to add a photo. (i.e. Tours, DAR reports, Task Requests, etc.) Whichever m-Post function you are using the photo option will be designated with the Camera icon above the word PHOTO.
NOTE: When using form elements you will need to tap ADD MEDIA first to access the photo option.
How to Add a Photo
To add a photo:
1. Tap the camera icon PHOTO button which will open the device's camera.
2. Take a photo by tapping the camera icon (1) at the bottom of the screen.
NOTE: Depending on which iOS model you are using you may have the option to change from the forward facing camera to the self facing camera ("selfie mode") by tapping the reverse circle arrows icon (2).
3. If you are not satisfied with the photo tap the refresh circle icon (1) and retake the photo.
If you are satisfied with the photo tap the check-mark icon (2).
4. A preview will display how the photo will be displayed, as portrait or landscape.
NOTE: It is highly recommend that photos be taken in landscape mode. In the example above we added a photo in portrait mode and then we will go over how to replace it with a photo in landscape mode.
5. If the photo contains private data tap the Media contains private data circle. When selected the circle will turn green with a white check-mark in it.
6. If you are not satisfied with the photo tap the CANCEL button or the < icon at the top left hand corner and retake the photo.
If you are satisfied with the photo tap the SAVE button.
NOTE: Photos taken in landscape mode will appear sideways in the preview. All photos taken in landscape more on an iOS device must be taken with the volume buttons facing down otherwise your photo will appear upside-down.
NOTE: Once a photo is saved the Camera icon PHOTO button will change to a photo thumbnail preview and camera icon. This means that the photo can be removed or replaced.
