Your team takes a lot of pictures. The before-and-after on a ductwork job. The serial-plate photo a tech snaps for the warranty. The signed proposal, the receipt from the parts store, the dent someone logged during a vehicle check-in. Until now, all of that lived scattered across hundreds of individual records — buried on the job where it was uploaded, findable only if you knew exactly where to look.
The new Media Library report pulls every one of those images into a single, scrollable gallery. One screen. Every photo your business captured. Filterable, browsable, and one click from a full-screen view. You’ll find it under Reports > Operations & Scheduling > Media Library.
Field service runs on photographic evidence. A warranty claim hinges on a clear shot of the serial plate. An insurance dispute turns on the before-and-after. A chargeback gets reversed because someone documented the completed work. The photos matter — but only if you can find them when it counts.
The trouble is that every photo your team takes gets attached to something: a job, a note, a vehicle check-in, a proposal signature. Each one is filed exactly where it was captured, which is great in the moment and miserable a month later when you need to round up “every receipt from the truck’s maintenance this quarter” or “the photos that tech took on the Henderson job.” You end up clicking through record after record, hoping you remember where the picture you need is hiding. The Media Library exists to end that hunt.
Open the Media Library and you get a clean grid of thumbnails — the newest uploads first — covering image attachments from across your entire account:
Every tile is tagged with its source, so you can see at a glance whether you’re looking at a job photo, a property shot, or a maintenance receipt — and the caption links straight back to the record it came from. Find a photo you need to act on, click through, and you’re on the job (or the vehicle, or the proposal) in one hop. Nothing is copied or duplicated; the Media Library is simply a single window onto images that already live on your records.
The Media Library works one calendar month at a time. Pick a month with the date picker and the gallery loads everything captured in that window. This keeps the report fast and focused — you’re reviewing “what did we shoot in March,” not wading through years of history in a single endless scroll.
Speaking of scroll: the gallery uses infinite scroll. It loads the first 60 images instantly and quietly pulls in the next batch as you reach the bottom, so even a busy month stays smooth. You get the speed of a paged report with the feel of an endless gallery — no “next page” buttons to click.
A wall of thumbnails is only useful if you can narrow it. The toolbar gives you four ways to slice the view, and they stack:
Filters apply instantly as you change them, and the source counts always reflect your other filters — so you can tell at a glance how the month breaks down. Want every maintenance receipt one tech logged in May? Stack Uploaded by with the Vehicle Maintenance source and you’re there in two clicks.
Click any thumbnail and it opens in a full-screen lightbox. Step forward and backward through the whole gallery with the arrow keys or on-screen buttons, swipe on a touchscreen, and see who uploaded each image right in the viewer. When you find the one you need, download it in a single click — original quality, ready to drop into a warranty claim, an insurance packet, or a customer email.
The viewer is built for the way you actually review photos — one after another, fast, looking for the right shot. Open it once and arrow through the whole month without leaving the lightbox.
A few things happening quietly under the hood that are worth knowing:
Photos aren’t decoration — they’re proof. They settle warranty claims, win insurance disputes, reverse chargebacks, and show a customer exactly what their money bought. But proof you can’t produce on demand is the same as no proof at all. When the evidence is scattered across hundreds of records, the photo that would have ended an argument never gets found.
The Media Library turns that scattered evidence into a single, searchable asset. Audit field documentation by filtering to one technician. Round up this month’s maintenance receipts at tax time by filtering to Vehicle Maintenance. Pull the before-and-afters for a marketing post in a single scroll. The pictures your team already takes finally work as hard as they should — because for the first time, you can actually find them. Curious how the report sits alongside the rest of the platform? See the Reporting & Analytics feature page.
Under Reports > Operations & Scheduling > Media Library. Open it and you get a grid of thumbnails — newest first — pulling image attachments from across your account.
Image attachments from jobs, notes, properties, products, equipment, vehicles (including check-in photos and maintenance receipts), proposals, line items, and to-dos. Every tile is tagged with its source and links back to the record it came from.
Four stacking filters: Location, Sources (checkboxes with live count badges), Uploaded by, and Filename search. Filters apply instantly, and the source counts always reflect your other filters.
Yes. Click any thumbnail for a full-screen lightbox, arrow or swipe through the gallery, see who uploaded each image, and download in one click at original quality — ready for a warranty claim, insurance packet, or customer email.
To keep the report fast and focused. Pick a month with the date picker and the gallery loads everything captured in that window; within the month, infinite scroll loads the first 60 images instantly and pulls in more as you reach the bottom.
