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.
