Adding Information to a Building Information Plan
The main function of SmartCapture is to facilitate the efficient capture of critical building information (e.g. information collected during the creation of a pre-incident plan or an inspection). Textual information can be captured using the device keyboard or choice-lists. High-quality photos can be instantly added to the created plan, either by capturing a photo with the device camera or uploading a photo saved to the device or a cloud storage provider.
Site Plan Capture
A satellite image can be captured from within the application, allowing the creation of a site plan that can then be annotated with linkable icons. Form fields that allow a site plan will open up a satellite view when the site plan option is selected. Users can navigate to the desired position and capture the satellite image.
Searching for Images with the iOS Files Browser (requires iOS 11 or newer)
Devices running iOS 11 or newer can browse for images using the iOS
Files Browser.
When 
is selected, 
will open the Files application. Users can then search for images stored to
the iOS device and import them into SmartCapture.
Re-using Images in SmartCapture
Images captured in SmartCapture (either using the device camera, device
Photo Library, or the site plan capture capability) can be
re-used by tapping
; all images that have been used within the current plan or inspection can
be re-used in another field (e.g. lock box location). When Building
Record Image is selected, a library similar to the Photos Section
will be presented, from which a user can select an image for re-use.
Site Plan Capture
A satellite image can be captured from within the application, allowing the creation of a site plan that can then be annotated with linkable icons. Form fields that allow a site plan will open up a satellite view when the site plan option is selected. Users can navigate to the desired position and capture the satellite image.
Tables
For some buildings, there may be several items of the
same type (e.g. Hydrants, Shutoffs), for each of which separate information must be
entered. In SmartCapture, tables can be used to input one or more of the same type of
object. Selecting the 
will add a new table row containing a complete set of the table's fields:
selecting the 
for a particular table row will delete the row.
Documents
PDF documents can be added to added to building information plans using a document field. For more information, see Adding PDF Documents to a Building Information Plan.
Saving Changes
upon completion of the section. Navigating away from a section without
saving will present an alert prompting users to or 
any changes.Managing Building Information Plans
Created plans can be viewed, exported to PDF, or deleted using the browser-based application. For information on use of this application, see the CityScape Admin online user documentation available here: https://cityscape-suite.ca/cityscape-admin-help/.
