How to Use Camera Regions

Overview

A Camera Region is used to collect an image. Camera Regions can be used to take a photo, load an existing photo or create a drawing.
Note: You will be asked to allow Mobile Forms to access your camera the first time you take a photo.

Taking a Photo

1. Tap on the Camera Region to open your device's camera. 

Camera Region Options

Press and hold on the Camera Region to open the options.

A. Take a photo - Tap to open your device's camera and take a photo.

B. Choose image - Tap to select a photo from your device and load it into the Region. The option to load an existing image can be disabled during Form design.  Form Designers can refer to the Camera Region section of the Region Types article for further details.

C. Add Drawing (available in Mobile Form 7.0 and higher) - Tap to add drawings, shapes, and annotations. See the article on How to Use the Drawing Tool for more information.
