What you can customize (Web)
Section titled “What you can customize (Web)”Cover page
| Element | What you can do |

| Title | Set the report title. Defaults to Work Report. |
| Summary | Add a free-text summary block. It can run onto extra pages if long. |
| Team name, Author, Date | Filled from your team and account, and from the export time. Shown read-only. |
Overview
Toggle any of six summary items. They are calculated from the selected photos:
| Item | What it shows | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Period | The date range, and how long it spans | On |
| Photos | The count, and how many of them Timemark verified | On |
| Members | Each member with the number of photos they took | On |
| Projects | Each project with its photo count. Photos with no project are counted under Ungrouped | Off |

Map
A map page plotted from the photos’ GPS. Turn the whole section on or off, then:

|---|---|---|
| Photo thumbnails | Each pin shows the photo itself. Adds Cluster nearby photos, which merges close pins into one with a count badge, and a Size slider. | On |
| Check-in time | Prints the date and time under each pin. Adds a 12h / 24h toggle and its own Size slider. | Off |
| Route | Draws a line through the pins in capture order. | On |
| Area | Outlines the ground the photos cover. Needs at least 3 photos with GPS data, and stays greyed out below that. | Off |
| Distance | Labels each leg of the route with its length. Choose ft / mi or m / km. | Off |
| Share link | Adds a View these photos on the map link under the map. | On |
Select photos to display limits the map to some of the report’s photos.
Photo pages
For each photo, toggle which of seven detail fields appear, and each shows only when the photo has that value:
- Member, Project, Tags, Time, Address, Coordinate, Photo Code
All seven are on by default. Address, Coordinate, and Location rows link to Google Maps. Photo Code links to the verification page. Photo link adds a link back to the photo on the web. You can also add per-photo Notes, add a photo the export didn’t include with + Add photo, and reorder photos (sort by time ascending or descending, or drag into a custom order).
Other controls
- Zoom the preview from 25% to 150%.
- Build the file name from Title, Export date, Team name, Prepared by, and a Custom part. Toggle and reorder the parts. The file name sits at the top of the editor, not behind Download. Custom is the only part off by default.
Exporting a PDF in the App
Section titled “Exporting a PDF in the App”In the App, the PDF export is limited to photos plus their metadata. You can set a Title and a Logo, but the manifest and per-field toggles are available only in Teamspace on the web. To export in the App, select photos in Teamspace and tap PDF in the tool panel at the bottom. To include every photo in the list, tap Export at the top and choose PDF. Set the title and logo, then tap Generate. See Export a PDF in the App.
This page covers photo PDFs. To turn one checklist submission into a PDF, see Export a checklist submission as PDF.
Common pitfalls
Section titled “Common pitfalls”- PDF only shows in the toolbar once you’ve ticked a photo. With nothing ticked, start from the sidebar.
- Up to 1000 photos per PDF in Teamspace. Selecting more prompts you to trim the selection.
- Leaving the editor throws your edits away. Going back asks “Leave preview? Your current PDF edits will be lost.” Finish and download in one session.
- The cover divider and footer color come from your logo. To change that accent color, upload a different logo.
- A field is hidden when the photo has no value for it. Tags, for example, appear only if your photos carry tag data.
