Picture Fields in OFS-Flow

Pictures In Flow is an exciting new enhancement to Flow Forms, adding the capability to seamlessly capture and upload images.

Summary

Pictures In Flow adds a brand new pictures field to Flow Forms, giving users the ability to capture images in alert forms. All functionality follows the same patterns that our users are already familiar with, helping to ensure ease of use for OFS veterans and newcomers alike.

Overview

Alert Forms are created and configured normally via Fusion Manager. The picture field appears as a new icon in the field list and includes its own set of unique, configurable properties.

These properties allow for flexibility depending on a user's needs, and include the ability to:

• Make uploads mandatory (similar to the required property on other field types)
• Limit uploaded images to those taken with a device camera at time of upload (not allow images to be selected an uploaded from a device's file-system).
• Apply a minimum storage duration tag to uploaded pictures, allowing for the ability to optionally delete them based on how long they have been stored for.

Completing Forms

We have made an effort to ensure the form field interface is intuitive and easy to use. Depending on the field configuration specified in Fusion Manager, operators will have the option to either take a photo using the camera button, or to select files from the device file system via a gallery button.

Reporting

As with other fields, picture fields can be selected in the Flow Manager report in Analytics to be viewed alongside other form data.
