Report Content
What's included on every page of a Vortyk photo log report. Photos, markups, captions, GPS data, dates, and more.
Last updated: April 18, 2026
Photo
The photo itself, displayed at the size determined by your chosen layout. If the photo has markups (arrows, circles, text, or other annotations), the annotated version appears in the report automatically.
You annotate once. The markups carry through to every report you generate.
Caption
The caption you added to the photo in Vortyk. Captions provide the narrative context. What the photo shows, why it matters, what condition was observed.
Add captions before generating reports. A report without captions is a photo album. A report with captions is a professional document.
GPS coordinates
The photo's latitude and longitude, extracted from EXIF metadata. GPS coordinates establish the exact location where the photo was taken. This is important for compliance, legal documentation, and client verification.
Capture date and time
The date and time the photo was originally taken, extracted from EXIF metadata. This establishes a verifiable timeline of your documentation.
Camera bearing
The compass direction the camera was facing when the photo was taken. Bearing data helps readers understand the photographer's vantage point and orient themselves relative to the site.
Page numbers
Sequential page numbers appear on every page for easy reference in discussions and written correspondence.
Company branding
Your name, company name, and email appear in the report header. See Company Branding for details on how to configure this.
Tips
- GPS coordinates and capture dates come from your photo's EXIF data. Make sure location services and date/time are set correctly on your camera or phone.
- Photos missing GPS data will still appear in reports but without coordinates.
- Review the report after generating to confirm that markups, captions, and metadata appear as expected.
