Xactimate questions / Photos and documentation
Create a room, elevation, or phase-based photo organization standard for easier estimate and file review.
Field guidance by Neil Baumann
Working adjuster and Parrot Key instructorUpdatedOrganize photographs according to a standard that matches how the team reviews the property. Common approaches use exterior elevations, roof, interior rooms, mechanical areas, contents, or inspection phases. The important point is that every team member uses the same naming and placement logic.
Good photographs become difficult to use when they are scattered, duplicated, or assigned to unclear folders. Organization affects field-to-office handoff, estimate review, report production, and the speed of finding support later.
Parrot Key can grade a redacted training file by timing how long a reviewer needs to find the sketch location, overview, detail, and scale image for a selected condition.
Official mobile documentation describes moving individual or multiple images between folders. Confirm the steps for the current platform and app version used by the team.
