Changing Default Photo Names in Field Maps

[KristinaBoehler]

Our organization collects waypoint data in the field with several attached photos for each point. In collector when you attached an external photo (rather than taking the photo in collector) the photo name would default to the name of the photo on the device (android OS; usually date/time ie. 10172023_120155) but in field maps it always seems to default to photo1, photo2 etc. This gets confusing since we would have repeats for each waypoint and not be able to link the photos later even by joining the _attach tables in ArcOnline and using formulas since the photo names are not unique. Is there a way to get field maps to accept the original photo name from the device and not change it to simply photo1? We would not like to rename each photo manually as they are being attached in the field since this would be too time consuming with 4 to 8 photos per waypoint and like 30 waypoints per site. Thanks!

I want to take this a step further. We have about 40 features in the field maps and collect between1- 8 photos on them. I would like to see unique photo names across the board. We previously manually named them and attached them after the fact when we could hook up camera for import to ArcGIS Pro on the laptop. Now with field maps on tablet we are collecting photos in the feature collection process. We would like to be able to name them as we go, using our standard naming conventions rather than photo1, photo2, etc. Many users want to download photos in bulk from rest end points this will be very confusing with 10,000 photos labels photo1. 8000 labels photo2, etc. Something more descriptive that can be unique: SouthBoundaryWallEast.jpg, SouthBoundaryWallSouth.jpg, SouthBoundaryWallWest.jpg
