Create a Snag List Item with Quick Capture (iOS)
Also available on 
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 punch items from the Drawings tool in iOS. See Create Punch List Items with Quick Capture from a Drawing (iOS).
- You can configure what items are created with the quick create
icon, see Configure Quick Create Settings.
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 .
