Pathwave guides crews through the photos you need and eliminates return site visits. Enable your team to never miss a photo on site by creating a photo list to specify the job photos crew members need to take while on site.
In Pathwave Photo Lists, you can create photo lists and photo labels needed for site walks, closeout packages, punchlists, customers, site owners, and photos specific to a job. Photos are automatically labeled, organized, date/time stamped, and tailored to your jobs.

How to use Photo Lists
Photo lists provide a reusable template of photos for specific job types, work types, or scope of work. Create photo lists for types of work or specific closeout requirements.
In the Pathwave portal, start adding photo lists in Configuration > Photo Lists > Add Photo List.
Photo List Recommendations for Special Scenarios

| For a Customer across different markets | Create a Primary Photo List for each market if photo requirements differ. |
| For a Site Walk that needs to be included in a Closeout Package | Create a Primary Photo List and add a "Pre-Construction" or "Site Walk" Folder |
