Site photos: review the job's Procore photos with the agent

Every photo your team uploads to a project's Photos tool in Procore shows up in LaunchPad, under Planning → Site photos. The agent takes a first look at each one and flags the ones that may show a violation. You decide what becomes a finding. Safety, Administrators and Project Administrators use it.

See the photos

1. Open Planning and choose the project.
2. Scroll to Site photos. You see the photos uploaded in the last four weeks, newest first, each with its album, date, how long ago it was taken (Today, Yesterday, 5 days ago, 3 weeks ago) and who uploaded it.
3. Click a photo to see it full screen. Click it again to zoom in and move around it.

Photos the agent flagged

• The agent looks at every photo on its own. A photo that may show a violation is outlined in red with Potential violation: needs Safety review and what the agent saw. Flagged photos come first, and the count is at the top ("3 photos flagged by the agent for your review").
• A flag is not a finding. Nothing goes to Procore until you review the photo and confirm.
• While the agent is still looking, the page says "The agent is taking a first look at … photos" and checks back on its own.

Review a photo with the agent

1. Click Review with the agent on a photo. In about 40 seconds the agent drafts a finding: title, what it sees, the action required, priority, hazard, the Safety observation type and the rule behind it.
2. Not sure? Use Talk it through with the agent beside the finding. Say what you see or suspect in your own words. The agent says, point by point, whether it's founded, not founded or can't be told from this photo, and + Add to finding puts a rule it names into the observation.
3. Mark up the photo: draw shapes, arrows, lines and text to show exactly where the problem is. The marked-up photo is attached along with the original.

File it

1. Check the draft. Description and Action required are large boxes; drag the corner to make them taller.
2. Choose Hazard, Contributing condition, and if you like Contributing behavior and Trade.
3. Assignee: the project Superintendent by default (a photo doesn't show who is responsible; they reassign it to the sub's foreman).
4. File as: Observation, Safety Violation (Daily Log), or Both.
5. Distribution: who Procore keeps informed. It starts with the project's default; add a Procore distribution group or anyone from the project.
6. More photos or files: add other photos of the same problem from your computer or phone, or pick them from the project's Procore photos.
7. Click Confirm, or Dismiss: nothing to act on.

The observation is created in Procore and sent: the assignee and the distribution get Procore's email, and Date Notified is filled in. Action required goes to its own Action Required field when your company has one in Procore. See Record a finding with AI photo review for exactly what goes into Procore.

Open it again from the photo

• Once filed, the photo shows Observation #…: open it. Click it to see and edit that observation (title, action required, priority, due date, assignee, trade, distribution, more photos), exactly as from the Observation log. Changes go to Procore with a comment saying who changed what.
• A review you started but didn't finish shows Open finding: finish it. Click it to pick up where you left off.
• Review again starts a new review of the same photo, for a second finding.

Good to know

• The photos are read from Procore with your sign-in: LaunchPad keeps only the ones you review.
• Only photos from the last four weeks are listed. Older ones are still in Procore's Photos tool.
• If the page says "The app can't read this project's Photos tool yet", the LaunchPad app needs Photos read permission in that Procore company. Your Procore admin grants it.
