Take photos and save with Meeting records?

Brian Curran

Hi,

We are using a customised/branded version of the SDK mobile app, which utilises the Meetings module to schedule jobs for our field operatives.

When arriving at a job location, we want our operatives to be able to take multiple photos and save them with the meeting record. Is this possible?

Many thanks

Brian.

    Hi Brian

    Yes it is possible
    In fact you won't even need to customize anything in this case

    You can just add few image fields to Meetings Mobile Edit View via Sugar Studio and it should suffice in your case

    Hi Eugene,

    Thanks for responding, I was testing this over the weekend and while it seems to work fine (take photos with the camera app, open Sugar, attach photos), it does feel a little clunky.

    It would be much better to add photos from the Sugar app itself by clicking a button that opens the camera from within the app. I've been searching Google but don't appear to have found anyone else that has achieved this...

    Brian.

    HI Brian
    I see. 
    On our side (mobile app) most likely it would be possible for you to implement your requirement by installing cordova plugin or developing in on your own

    But think about following: how are you going to sync and store these images on Sugar server? You will also need some serious customization on server side to support image storing (if you want to avoid default image fields approach)
    Hope this helps, Eugene
