What This Video Covers
This tutorial shows how to capture data and photos using the Matidor mobile app. It covers how to navigate work chips inside a project, create new geo and non-geo work items, attach photos and files from your device, use autofill to speed up repeat entries, and access all project files on mobile. By the end, field teams have a complete picture of how to log and organize site data without leaving the job.
Who This Is For
This video is for field technicians, site supervisors, and project managers who need to capture work records, photos, and files directly from a mobile device on active job sites. It is also relevant for environmental consultants, oil and gas inspectors, and construction field crews who rely on accurate, real-time data capture to keep project records current and audit-ready. If your team is moving away from paper forms or disconnected photo apps, this walkthrough shows exactly how Matidor replaces that workflow in one place.
Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Open any existing project in the Matidor mobile app. Once inside, you will see a list of work chips tied to your project template. Geo work chips display a small drawing icon and are color-coded by type. Regular work chips appear in gray with two-letter initials. The number inside each chip shows how many work items have already been created. Tap any chip to view its items, or tap the ">" icon in the top right to open the full list across your entire project.
To create a new work item, tap the plus sign inside any work chip. For geo work, you start by placing or drawing a location on the map. For non-geo work, you are taken directly to a form with predefined fields. As you fill out the form, you can attach photos and files from your device at any time, or come back and add them later. When creating a second item of the same type, Matidor offers an autofill option so your team does not have to re-enter repeated details from scratch.
Once saved, the work chip count updates instantly so project progress is always visible at a glance. Tap into any work item to review its full details, including subtasks and comments, so the whole team stays aligned on status and next steps.
All attached files are accessible inside the work item itself. You can also open the Files section by tapping the ">" icon to view or upload project-level files that are not tied to any specific task. This makes it easy to store site photos, inspection reports, and reference documents in one organized location.
Key Takeaways
Matidor's mobile app turns every job site visit into a structured, searchable record. Field teams can log work items, attach photos, fill out forms, and access project files without needing to be back at a desk or connected to a complex system. Autofill reduces repetitive data entry, geo work keeps location context tied to every record, and the file section ensures nothing gets lost between the field and the office.
