Overview

The Photo Question type ensures users provide visual evidence by requiring them to take and upload a photo from their device's camera. This is useful for inspections, documentation, and compliance verification where visual confirmation is necessary.

Unlike other question types, a Photo Question does not allow for text-based responses or triggers. However, additional settings like reference images and question categories can be configured for further context.


When to Use a Photo Question

  • Verification of Work Completed – Capture proof of completed maintenance, repairs, or safety checks.

  • Compliance and Incident Reporting – Require images to document issues or completed tasks.

  • Quality Assurance – Ensure visual confirmation of conditions in audits or inspections.

Example Use Case:

  • A maintenance checklist for ride safety inspections may require operators to take a photo of a secured harness before dispatching a coaster.

  • A cleaning team may use a Photo Question to provide proof of sanitized areas.


How to Configure a Photo Question
