Lesson Notes
When a job requires a floor plan or measurements — indicated by 'Floor Plan' or 'Measurement' in the media types on the job detail — you will use the Vremly iOS capture app (Vremly Scan) on your iPhone or iPad. The handoff happens at the end of the ARRIVED phase in TechnicianTripView: tapping 'Start shoot' (which posts IN_PROGRESS) automatically navigates you into the PropertyOverview screen of the capture app if a property record already exists for this project. If not, the app creates one using the RECA_ALBERTA measurement standard and drops you into the room-listing screen.
On the webapp side, the job detail's Media tab (inside the Floor Plans accordion) contains a Measurements sub-panel powered by PropertyCapturePanel. This panel shows the same property record the iOS app writes to — it displays floor and room structures, total square footage, and a 'Generate Floorplan' button that solves the geometry into a vector floorplan. You can review the measurement state from a desktop after the tech submits from the field, without needing to be on the same device.
Inside the capture app, the workflow is: add floors → add rooms per floor → measure each room's walls using the DISTO laser or manual entry → add panoramas (360° photos) per room. Each measurement is saved to the backend in real time as you work, so a connectivity drop does not lose data already committed. The app shows a room checklist view (CaptureChecklist) that evaluates whether every floor has rooms and every room has at least 3 wall measurements — a green check means the room is capture-complete.
Panoramas are captured using an Insta360 camera tethered over Wi-Fi or the device's own camera in 360 mode. They are order-independent — you can shoot panos before or after measurement, and each pano is assigned to a room after the fact. Multiple panos per room are supported. Once all rooms are measured and panos assigned, tap 'Review' to see the CaptureFlowReview screen — a final pre-submit checklist. Submitting sends the full property record to the backend and flags the measurement phase as complete.
After capture, return to the job on the webapp (or on iOS via the My Jobs tab → job → Deliverables tab). The Floor Plans accordion in the Media section now shows the measurement data. An admin or project manager can click 'Generate Floorplan' to solve the geometry and download a DXF or PDF report. If you are a solo provider handling your own post-processing, you can trigger this yourself from the same panel without switching tools.
Key Takeaways
- Tapping 'Start shoot' in TechnicianTripView transitions you directly into the iOS capture app's property overview.
- The capture app uses RECA_ALBERTA measurement standard and saves room data to the backend in real time.
- The webapp's Floor Plans accordion in the Media tab shows the same property record the iOS app writes.
- Panoramas are order-independent — assign them to rooms after capturing, not during.
- Submit from the Review screen after all rooms pass the CaptureChecklist before leaving the property.
