Summary:
In this user guide, you learn what the home screen contains, how it is organised and how to navigate to other parts of the solution. You learn how to choose the type of registration (for example documentation, deviation, task or inspection), how to choose a working mode – location, photo or video – and how to work in the map and the model. The user guide is for users working out on the project, especially those who will use the app actively to document, inspect or follow up building or construction projects using the model, map, camera and video.
When you have logged in and chosen a project, you come to the home screen. This is where you work in the project – here you can see the model or the map and create new registrations (from the model, the map or the camera). Below is a simple explanation of the most important parts of the home screen and how to navigate to the different main parts.
The following is described:
1.0 Menu and project selection (top)
1.1 Menu button
(three lines, top left)
Here you can, among other things:
- Switch Area.
- Sync the project (upload/download). See Synchronisation and offline use (opens in a new tab).
- Go to Support.
-
Log out.
1.2 Project name
(top centre, e.g. “Capture”)
Shows which project you are working in.
- Tap the project name to switch to another project/workspace.
- When you switch project, a full sync starts. A banner at the bottom of the screen shows the progress. See Synchronisation and offline use (opens in a new tab).
1.3 Overview
(icon top right)
Opens Overview with all registrations and inspections created in the project. At the top, you choose between two tabs:
- Registrations – standalone registrations, for example documentation, deviations and tasks.
- Inspections – inspections with their registrations.

2.0 Toolbar (bottom)
At the very bottom of the home screen, you choose:
- Which type of registration you will work with (left side).
- Which working mode you want to work from (right side).
What you see in the centre of the home screen depends on the working mode you have chosen.
2.1 Type of registration (left)
Tap the type at the bottom left to open Registration type. Here you see the processes available in the project, for example Documentation, Deviation, Task and Inspection. The type you are currently working with is marked with a check mark.
- Choose a type to create new registrations of that type from the model, the map or the camera.
- If you choose Inspection, the inspection types in the project are shown. Choose one to start a new inspection.
Note: Which processes are available, and what they are called, depends on how the project is set up and which project template has been used.
2.2 Working mode (right)
You can work from the following modes:
- Location – Navigate in the map or model, and link registrations to objects in the model or to a map reference.
- Photo – Take photos and link them to a registration.
- Video – Record video and link it to a registration.
Note: The working mode you choose determines how you start a new registration. Whatever the mode, photos, videos and location are linked to a registration that is easy to find again.
How you take photos and videos and link them to a registration is the same for all types of registrations. See:
-
Registration types and how they are structured (opens in a separate tab)
3.0 Location – Map or Model (centre of the home screen)
The area in the centre of the screen shows what you are working from, based on the working mode chosen in the tabs at the bottom (Location, Photo, Video). When Location is chosen, you see either the map or the model.
3.1 Map view and model view
Capture has two views for placing registrations: map view and model view. Which views you have access to depends on whether the project has a map, a model or both.
- In map view, you see an interactive geographical map with all registrations shown as purple markers.
- In model view, you see a 2D or 3D model of the building or facility. Registrations are shown as purple markers directly on the model. If the project has several models, you choose the model in the drop-down menu at the top.
If you tap the map button on the left in the model view, the screen switches to map view. From map view, you switch back by tapping the model button (3D cube icon).
Note: A registration linked to a model reference cannot be changed to a map reference, and vice versa. The link is set when the registration is created.
3.2 Tools in the model view
- Loading the model – While the model is loading, the app shows Loading model… and how many disciplines have been loaded, for example 0/4 disciplines.
- 2D – The button at the top left switches to a 2D floor plan.
- Model Filters – The filter button at the top right opens Model Filters. Here you can filter the model by parameters and hierarchy, and show or hide objects. See functions in the 3D viewer (opens in a separate tab).
- Measure, section, and reset – The buttons at the bottom right are used to measure, create sections, and reset the view.
3.3 Tools in the map view
- Map layers – Select a map layer from the drop-down menu at the top, such as World Map, Norgeskart, or Project Area. See Synchronization and offline use (opens in a separate tab) for what the project area means when you are offline.
- Search – The search button at the top left is used for address search (requires internet).
- Filter and layers – The buttons at the top right are used to filter the registrations and choose which layers are shown.
-
New registration, measuring and position – With the buttons at the bottom right, you create a new registration in the map (+), measure distance and go to your position.
Note: The map layer Norgeskart is a Norwegian map service that only covers Norway, and is therefore only relevant for projects in Norway.
