# 6.3 Exception Handling for Incorrect Replacements (Re-Take Not Used)

## How reviewers can resolve rejected items when field personnel submit replacement photos outside the required Re-Take workflow.

#### **Overview**

The Quality Review process requires field personnel to replace rejected photos using the **Re-Take** workflow. This ensures the replacement photo is correctly linked to the original rejection, surfaces in the **Resubmitted** category, and maintains a clean audit trail.

However, if a field user submits a replacement photo incorrectly—by uploading a new photo manually instead of using Re-Take—it creates a mismatch. The system cannot associate the new photo with the original rejected item, leaving the review blocked.

Pathwave provides an **exception-handling method** reviewers can use to resolve these situations without requiring a field revisit. This method is not best practice, but it enables progress when timing, access, or customer deadlines require flexibility.

### **How Review Feedback Appears in the App**

When a photo is rejected or flagged by a reviewer, the field app displays:

- The **rejection reason**
- **Reviewer comments**
- **Markup** (circles, arrows, highlights)
- Original and replacement photos (if applicable)
- A red badge indicating action is required

This gives crews complete clarity about what needs to be corrected.

### **Correcting a Rejected Photo**

When a field user selects a rejected photo:

1. The rejection reason and comments appear.
2. Markup (if added) overlays the image.
3. The user selects **Re-Take**.
4. The camera opens directly to capture the replacement.
5. The user can view: 
     1. The original photo or
     2. New replacement photo
6. The user selects **Submit**.

The replacement immediately appears in the reviewer’s **Resubmitted Photos** category.

**To ensure all corrections are properly tracked and validated, field personnel must follow the designated photo replacement workflow when responding to rejected photos.**  
Uploading a new photo outside the **Re-take** flow (for example, adding a new photo manually, or capturing from outside the rejected item) will:

- Break the linkage to the reviewer’s rejection
- Prevent the replacement from appearing in **Resubmitted Photos**
- Leave the rejected item unresolved
- Cause inconsistencies in the review
- Delay review completion and closeout packages

Always open the rejected item, review the feedback, select **Re-Take**, and submit the replacement from within that screen.

### **Exception Handling Workflow**

#### **How to clear the blocked rejected photo so the reviewer can accept the new submission.**

Follow these steps:

---

### **Step 1 — Locate the Rejected Photo**

Open the Quality Review workspace and select the photo still sitting in the **Rejected** category.

---

### **Step 2 — Change the Status to “Unreviewed”**

Change the photo from **Rejected** → **Unreviewed**.

This resets the internal state of that item and allows further actions.

### **Step 3 — Hide the Photo From the Review**

Select **Hide From Review**.

This removes the incorrectly linked rejected item from:

- Review progress counts
- Category tallies
- Blocking conditions for Finalizing the Review

---

### **Step 4 — Navigate to the Correctly Submitted Photo**

Locate the replacement photo the field user submitted incorrectly.

This will typically appear under:

- The original photo category (primary or site owner list)
- “Need Review”
- Or as a new captured photo, depending on timing and location

---

### **Step 5 — Review and Accept the New Photo**

Review the newly submitted photo and use the **Accept** action to approve it as the valid documentation.

This restores proper review completion logic.
