When taking pictures of the surrounding area, try to keep a common landmark in each of the photographs to demonstrate distance and scale. Also be aware of sunlight and weather conditions and how those might affect photographs, especially those relating to damage. If possible, use different flash intensities, and/or take the same photographs with and without flash.

== Setting Favorite Answers in the App ==
Information entered into the [[Observer Details]] section can be automatically entered to successive surveys to avoid having to enter it again and again. '''The steps below outline the process for saving routine answers by setting "Favorite Answers":'''
# Input any data you want saved as a favorite answer; PBEM recommends:
#* Person reporting
#* Neighborhood emergency team
#* NET ID number
# Click on the menu icon in the upper right corner (displayed as "<big>'''≡'''</big>"). This will bring up a star icon with "Set as favorite answers"; click to save all current inputs as favorites.
# Once favorites are set, a user can insert them into new surveys by opening the menu and clicking "Paste answers from favorite".
# If at any time a volunteer needs to change favorite answers, they should enter them into the current survey and click as "Set as favorite answers".

== Deleting Outdated Surveys ==
Portland NET may occasionally update the data entry form due to a change in policy, or to add improvements to an existing form.  If a new version of the assessment form is published, you will have to remove older versions from your mobile device.  If you attempt to collect data into an outdated survey form, the data will become orphaned, it is important to use the correct version of a survey form.  Your NET Team leader will instruct you if you need to delete your local form and re-download an updated version from the cloud.  
'''To delete:'''
# Open the survey for removal from the mobile device.
# Click on the menu icon in the upper right corner (displayed as "<big>'''≡'''</big>").
# Click on "Delete Survey".
# The software will give you a warning message; click "Delete".
