How to Upload and View Images In the Platform


With the Propeller mobile app, you can capture and pin images of your site in the field with your mobile device to view on the map in the platform. You can also upload images to the platform from a desktop computer to share with crews on site, creating a centralized repository of media that can be filtered by location, author, date, and category.

Adding images to the map on a desktop 

From within the site and survey you want to add images to, click on the MEDIA tab and select UPLOAD.

Upload a single image

Browse for the image on your computer. If you select a single image, you will be given the option to +ADD MORE images.

You can upload .jpg and .png, including 360 images.

If the image does not have associated location data, you can manually pin it to the correct location. Click NEXT.

Upload images in bulk

Browse for the images on your computer. To upload them in bulk, hold down the fn+shift button on a Mac or the Ctrol button on a PC and select the images.

You can pin them to the same or multiple locations.
