How to Show or Hide Photo Metadata in Reports in CrewBox

Choose exactly which capture details print under each photo — from crew name to GPS coordinates.

Steps

1. Open Report Settings

In the report editor, click Report Settings at the bottom of the section sidebar.

2. Set the photo metadata toggles

The show/hide options control what prints with each photo:

  • Photo Numbers — sequential numbers that run continuously across the whole report, so "Photo 14" means the same thing in every section.
  • Photo Captured By — the crew member who took the photo.
  • Photo Date Captured — when the photo was taken.
  • Photo GPS — the capture coordinates, useful for proving where documentation happened.
  • Photo Tags — the photo's tags, printed as color-coded pills matching the same tag colors you see in the app.
Report Settings controls which photo metadata appears on section pages.

3. Set the page-structure toggles

The same settings panel also controls larger structural elements:

  • Include Cover Page — turn the cover page on or off entirely.
  • Section Title Pages — give each section its own title page (its content is governed by the section-pages toggles: Client Name, Project Name, Photo Date).
  • Show Header / Show Footer — the running bars on every page.

4. Confirm in the preview

Changes autosave, and on large screens the live preview re-renders so you can see metadata appear or disappear under the photos before generating the PDF.

Tips

  • For client-facing reports, many teams hide GPS and tags but keep photo numbers, captured-by, and date — the numbers make phone conversations easy ("look at photo 23").
  • These toggles are part of the report's settings, so Save as Template captures them for reuse.
