Build - Photos bulk edit

Build - Photos bulk edit

Editing, deleting, aplying tags is something that is only possible to do one by one in the Photos tab in Build.

This can be very time consuming, there should be a way to edit the photos in bulk.

I agree we need better edit, sort and filter capabilities.  I think something similar to version sets in the sheets module for Photos would be helpful. So you could assign photos to version sets as they are uploaded. Also need the ability to batch select photos and change location, version set, and or add custom tags.

Exactly @amorris3817 !

 

The current process isn't user friendly! Having to edit photos one by one is very time consuming and not an efficient process.

Ditto, am abandoning the photo receptacle in Build as a serious option pending further development.

In addition, it would be useful to be able to pre-select prefixes in the field in order to cluster photos into some sort of relevance.

A LOT of work required here before this is usable.

Absolutely agree! This is a very poorly thought out feature. Bulk editing is a must as well as bulk deleting. You should also be able to set up folders if desired. Either that, or photos should link to files.

Very curious why it takes Adsk soooooooo long to implement these seemingly basic features. I requested this three years ago. Surely their visit to a site using build will raise basic issues like this over and over again. How hard can it be to implement these fundamental features which is discouraging new user adoption.

This functionality would be invaluable! Otherwise, you're depending on perfection the first time you upload a photo. Information changes all the time, and we need the ability to make updates efficiently. This is a productivity killer.

This is needed for sure. I hear from my field teams regarding this need on a weekly basis. I hope this makes it into the roadmap soon. Everyone should make sure to search out the other top posts regarding this issue and vote on them, so this feature gets more attention from the developers @acc.

Thanks for sharing your idea. Our Product teams are taking a look and will update a status here soon when we have more information.

It would be great if we could select or scan the location QR code and every photos taken after that would assume that location.

That will be game changer...

Yes it would! I'd like to see bulk edit to photos as well for tags and locations. The photos tool is very tedious to use when managing a photos information.

A decentralized storage location tool such as the Photos Tool relying on Tags to navigate must have the ability to bulk edit tags or it is effectively useless and a user is stuck using the traditional folder structure in the Files tool for organizing photos. Please fix!

I would also like to see the ability to edit the names of multiple photos at once or the option to take photos in the app and a pre-selected/typed name be applied to all of the photos taken in said group, instead of the defaulted timestamp name. I’m required at work (QA/QC) to rename every photo I take so if needed they can easily be located if accidentally removed from the given reference (asset or form)

I came to vote for the 'Build - Photos bulk edit' comment/forum but it is 'UNDER REVIEW' which doesn't allow me to vote.  My comment here is my version of a vote for this ability to be added to the Photos tool.  I just started using the Photos tool this morning and the first issue I have is not being able to bulk edit.  We will stick to the old school system of folders and files to organize my photos.

Hi and thanks again everyone. We know that this functionality would be valuable for many of you and will consider prioritizing in future cycles. The Photos team is currently focused on other high-priority functionality but is aware of the potential value-add for this. This will be in the Photos team backlog and will keep you all posted once we're able to prioritize. Thanks again.
