What This Video Covers

This tutorial covers file and photo management in Matidor, showing how to upload, preview, organize, and share project documents and field images. Matidor centralizes all project-related files — site photos, inspection reports, engineering drawings, permits, and supporting documents — inside the platform alongside the corresponding project data, eliminating the need to manage files in a separate cloud storage system or email attachments.

Who This Is For

This video is for field technicians who capture site photos and need to upload them to the right project, project managers who coordinate document management across multiple sites and team members, and operations administrators who need a consistent, searchable file archive tied to project locations and activities.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

The tutorial opens the Files tab inside a Matidor project. You upload a file using the drag-and-drop area or the manual upload button, which supports photos, PDFs, Excel files, and most common document formats. Uploaded files appear in the files gallery immediately and can be previewed inline without downloading — photos display with GPS location metadata when available, making it easy to confirm the photo was taken at the correct site location.

The tutorial demonstrates using filters to sort files by type, date, or uploader — useful for quickly finding the most recent site inspection photos or a specific permit document among a large collection. The table view provides a structured list with bulk action capabilities, including selecting multiple files and exporting them as a package for sharing with clients or archiving for project close-out. Files attached to individual work items are accessible from both the work item record and the main Files tab, so there is one centralized location for all project documentation.

Key Takeaways

File and photo management in Matidor keeps all project documentation in the same platform where tasks, budgets, and map data live. By attaching files directly to projects and work items — with GPS metadata, filter tools, and a table view for bulk management — Matidor replaces fragmented storage across shared drives and email threads with a single, searchable, location-aware document repository.
