Create a project
Group photos by client or site so field crew pick the right project when they capture.
When you’d do this
Section titled “When you’d do this”You’re starting work for a new client or at a new site and want every photo from it grouped in one place, with no manual sorting afterward.
What a project is
Section titled “What a project is”A project works like a folder. Name it by client (for example Acme Corp) or by site (for example 123 Main St). Once it exists, field crew pick the project in the App before they capture, so photos land in the right place automatically.
Add an Address to the project and Timemark prompts the nearest project when crew are on site nearby, so they don’t have to hunt for it. See Add an address to a project.
If different groups work different projects, set project access so each group sees only their own projects. That keeps everyone’s list short and easy to pick from. See Manage project access.

Search before you create
Section titled “Search before you create”Before adding a project, search to make sure it doesn’t already exist. In the By Project view, type in the search box. Results are ranked by how closely each project name matches what you type. If the search finds nothing, a Create Project button appears in the empty results, so you can create it without clearing your search.
Fields you can configure
Section titled “Fields you can configure”| Field | What it does | Notes |

Common pitfalls
Section titled “Common pitfalls”- Free has a 3-project ceiling. Creating a 4th project shows an upgrade prompt. Delete old projects or upgrade to Business. See Delete a project.
- Keep capitalization consistent. Some sort views treat names as case-sensitive, so always write
PID #1212, never mixingpid #1212. - Cloud connections only sync photos added after you connect. Existing photos aren’t synced retroactively, so connect early.
