**1. Type**

Name the new Photo documentation type. The name of the type is what you can see on the project, both in the app and on the admin page.

 

**2. Location**

- **Placement text:** What you write here is a help text for, for example, where the registration is made. This text will appear on printouts and will replace the "Location" text.
- **Require floor plan marker:** Used if you want to require a marking on a floor plan.
- **Required location text:** Used if you want to require a placement text.
- **Allow barcode scanning for placement text:** Used if you want the option to scan a barcode or a QR code in the app. The information that will appear in the location text here is the data stored in the code, such as a link, a text, or a location.
- **Allow marking on the map in the app:** Used if you want the ability to make a marking on a map in the app.

 

**3. User group permissions for app**

If you use different user groups, their settings can be adjusted here.

 

**4. Projects**

Select the projects where the type should be visible on.

 

**Press the "Save" button at the bottom of the screen, and your Photo Documentation type will be completed!**
