Step 1: Automatic file names generated by the HurriCam App

Creating unique file name at the time of snapping a photo is especially important when uploading photos from mobile device to your PC or Mac.

Once the device is connected it will display inside the folder the actual, logical file name. Ready to be dragged and dropped to the Xactimate images window.

Rather then having automatically generated generic photos names that needs to be renamed

Each photo created by the app (and the corresponding file name) would fall into its designated category folder DWELLING or OTHER STRUCTURES and respective subfolder ROOF, RISK OVERVIEW, ELEVATION, INTERIOR

Additional advantage of this filing system is the fact that an order of creating photos doesnt matter as each photo will land in designated folder regardless the sequence of snapping photos.

Following an example below the key stroke combination Roof-->Dwelling-->Pitch-->3/12 will result in generating file name Roof Pitch 3-12.JPG

And It will be stored in the folder PC or Mac.
