Rename photos within tasks

Overview: rename photos within tasks


Renaming a task photo replaces a generic camera filename with a descriptive label in CxPlanner and in exports, which is used when punch list documentation needs clear photo names.


It does not rename the original file on your device.


  • Your role must allow you to edit the task. Assigned users can rename photos on tasks they can edit.
  • You can find the control on the open task - photo - three dots menu.
  • This changes the photo name in the task view and in later exports.


Users who are assigned to a task can upload and rename photos on that task.


How to rename photos within tasks


  1. Open the task and click the three dots menu in the top-right corner of the photo.
  2. Enter a new descriptive name for the photo.
  3. Click Save.
