Best Practices
Photo Tips
Lighting
Use flash in dark enclosures. For OTDR/meter screens, reduce brightness slightly to avoid glare.
Angle & Clarity
Shoot straight-on. Labels and readings must be readable. Retake blurry photos immediately.
Context First
Start wide (whole enclosure / area), then go close-up. Reviewers need to understand WHERE.
Timestamp
Enable date/time stamp on your camera app or include a clock screenshot.
Naming
[TicketID]_[Stage]_[Desc].jpg — e.g., WO12345_BEFORE_SpliceTray.jpg
Backup
Upload to the shared drive before leaving the job site. Don't rely on phone storage alone.
Missing Photos = Missing Closeout
Proper documentation protects your work, speeds up billing, and prevents disputes.
