Create a Snag List Item with Quick Capture (iOS)

Objective

To create snag list items using the Quick Snag feature on the Procore iOS app.

Background

Quick Capture allows you to record short videos of issues on the job site and convert the videos into snag items from an iOS device. While recording a video, you can verbally describe what you are seeing and the audio will be transcribed to automatically populate the snag item's Title and Description fields. You can also say the name of a trade (that already exists in your Procore account) during the recording and Quick Capture will attempt to populate the snag item's Trade field.

Things to Consider

• • Quick Capture does not require an internet connection when you are recording snag items. You will need a mobile or Wi-fi network connection in order to send the new snag items to the snag list in the project's Snag List tool.
  • You can also create quick capture snag items from the Drawings tool in iOS. See Create Snag List Items with Quick Capture from a Drawing (iOS).

Prerequisites

• Your iOS device must be configured to allow the Procore app to access the device's 'Camera', 'Microphone' and 'Speech Recognition' features. When you open Quick Capture for the first time, the Procore app will automatically prompt you to allow it to access these features. If you denied the Procore app's access to these features, see Apple's Control Access to Hardware Features on iPhone  for more information about manually configuring these features.
• Your iOS device must have the 'Dictation' feature enabled. See Apple's Dictate Text on iPhone .

You can tap the Assignees field on the new snag item to change the users added as assignees if necessary.
      Note: If Assignees were set in your default settings, those assignees will automatically be added to the snag item.
    • Type: Tap this field to select a snag item type to associate with the snag item. Type selections are managed in the Procore web application in the project's Snag List tool. See Create Snag Item Types.
      Note: If Type was set in your default settings, that Type will automatically be added to the snag item.
